摘要:
A storage cell type X-ray apparatus uses a storage cell as its power source and operates so that the dc voltage of the power source is converted to an ac voltage, this ac voltage is elevated to a higher voltage and rectified to obtain a high dc voltage. The resulting voltage is applied to an X-ray tube, to cause this X-ray tube to emit X-rays. This apparatus includes means for stabilizing the voltage applied to the X-ray tube.

An X-ray apparatus for a computed tomography scanner comprises a capacitor device formed of a plurality of capacitors which have the same capacitance and are successively connected to a first changeover switch between the filament and anode of an X-ray tube. There are connected in series between the anode of the X-ray tube and the first changeover switch a high voltage switch for intermittently applying a high voltage across the anode and filament of the X-ray tube and a wave tail cut circuit whose contact is opened when a drop takes place in the voltage of the capacitor connected to the first changeover switch. The capacitor device is connected to the secondary winding of a high voltage transformer through a second changeover switch and a diode connected to the plural capacitor in turn. Between the second changeover switch and the secondary winding of the high voltage transformer are connected a rectifier and the contact of a charge-interrupting circuit which is opened when a rise occurs in the voltage of the capacitor connected to the second changeover switch. The plural capacitors of the capacitor device are successively charged with high voltage of a prescribed level. The high voltage of the prescribed level with which the plural capacitors of the capacitor device are charged is successively applied at a short interval across the filament and anode of the X-ray tube, which emits the prescribed amount of X-radiation succession of short burst.

In the illustrative embodiment, the feeding of the high voltage transformer proceeds from an inverter which is connected to a dc voltage source. The inverter output frequency is adjusted in dependence upon the selected x-ray tube voltage such that as the x-ray tube voltage is reduced, the inverter frequency is correspondingly reduced.

An X-ray diagnostic apparatus in which the X-ray tube voltage is regulated through intermediary of the X-ray tube current. In the apparatus, a regulator is situated within a regulating circuit for the effective value of the filament current of the X-ray tube, and influences the effective value of the filament current for the purpose of correlating the actual value with the reference value which has been determined through the preset X-ray tube voltage. In the inventive X-ray diagnostic apparatus, on the one hand, the actual value of the X-ray tube voltage is compared with a reference value, and the filament current is influenced for the purpose of correlating the actual value to the reference value. Furthermore, the filament current which is required for a predetermined reference value of the X-ray tube voltage is also maintained constant preceding the beginning of an exposure so that, at the initiation of an exposure, the filament current already lies at least near to the correct value. Deviations of the X-ray tube voltage from the correct value are thereby smaller than in prior art apparatus.
