    摘要: An x-ray radiator has a vacuum housing that can rotate around an axis, a cathode that thermionically emits electrons upon irradiation thereof by a laser beam, an anode that emits x-rays upon being struck by the electrons, an insulator that is part of the vacuum housing and that separates the cathode from the anode, electrodes or terminals to apply a high voltage between the anode and the cathode to accelerate the emitted electrons toward the anode to form an electron beam, a drive arrangement for rotation of the vacuum housing around its axis, an arrangement for cooling components of the x-ray radiator, and an arrangement that directs and focuses the laser beam from a stationary source that is arranged outside of the vacuum housing onto a spatially stationary laser focal spot on the cathode.

    摘要: A high-performance anode plate for a directly cooled rotary piston x-ray tube is formed of a high-temperature-resistant material such as tungsten, molybdenum or a combination of both materials. In the region of the focal spot path, the underside of the anode plate is shaped, and/or in this region a different highly heat-conductive material is inserted or applied, such that an improved heat dissipation and thus a lower temperature gradient results.

    摘要: An X-ray source is proposed having a rotating piston tube (2) which is mounted such that it can rotate, in which a stationary guide body (12), which at least partially surrounds the tube, is provided for cooling the anode plate (4). The guide body (12) is designed such that a liquid coolant, which is supplied to the tube (2) from a reservoir (15) concentrically with respect to the anode-bearing shaft (17), is initially positively guided along the tube outside of the anode plate (4) and along the beam outlet window (20) of the tube forming narrow gaps (18, 19), and is then passed out radially via at least one baffle plate (21) which is arranged on the tube (2) and engages in a correspondingly designed gap in the guide body (12). The high-voltage parts have an insulating gas applied to them, which is physically not separated from the liquid coolant in the source housing (1).

    摘要: An X-ray source has an emitter for the production of an electron beam and an anode on which the electron beam strikes in an X-ray focal spot, and a magnet system that produces a dipole field and a quadrupole field that is superimposed on this dipole field, for deflecting and focusing the electron beam onto the anode. In addition, an arrangement is provided that operates together with the magnet system for the adjustment of the size of the X-ray focal spot. This arrangement, in order to set a desired size of the X-ray focal spot, adjusts the quadrupole field in so that the X-ray focal spot has a width corresponding to the desired size of the X-ray focal spot, and supplies to the magnet system a wobble signal that influences the dipole field, this wobble signal effecting a periodic displacement of the electron beam in a direction transverse to the extension of the width of the X-ray focal spot. This gives the focal spot an effect length, resulting from the deflection and measured in the direction of the deflection, to achieve a particular ratio of the effective length to the width of the X-ray focal spot.
