    摘要: An x-ray tube includes a cathode which supplies electrons that bombard a target material to produce x-rays. The target is supported on a rotating anode that includes fins covered with a high emissivity material. An envelope surrounds these elements and provides a vacuum chamber in which they operate. A receptor is mounted to the envelope and includes fins which mate with the anode fins to enhance the radiation of heat from the rotating anode. A cooling liquid is pumped through the receptor.

    摘要: An imaging system includes a gantry rotating around an object on a table. A cathode emitter is coupled to the gantry and generates an electron beam. An anode, also coupled to the gantry, is stationary with respect to the cathode emitter and generates an x-ray flux in response to the electron beam. A detector is coupled to the gantry and is adapted to receive the x-ray flux and generate therefrom a detector signal.

    摘要: A thermal energy storage and transfer assembly is disclosed for use in electron beam generating devices that generate residual energy. The residual energy comprises radiant thermal energy and kinetic energy of back scattered electrons. The thermal energy storage and transfer assembly absorbs and stores an amount of the residual energy to reduce the heat load on other components in the electron beam generating device. The thermal energy storage and transfer device comprises a body portion of a sufficient thermal capacity to permit the rate of transfer of the amount of the residual energy absorbed into the assembly to substantially exceed the rate of transfer of the amount of the residual energy out of the assembly. The assembly also comprises a heat exchange chamber filled with a circulating fluid that transfers the thermal energy out of the assembly. Additionally, in an x-ray generating device, an x-ray transmissive filter suitable for absorbing residual energy is positioned between the anode and an x-ray transmissive window. The filter reduces the exposure of the window to the residual energy. The filter may additionally comprise a coating layer that further reduces the exposure of the window to the residual energy.

    摘要: A tungsten focal track is placed on a graphite substrate in such a manner as to reduce off focal spot radiation while maintaining a fixed focal spot size. The radial width of the focal tract is made smaller than that of the electron beam from the cathode such that the electron beam overlap will allow for misalignments between the electron beam and the focal track without affecting the focal spot size or location.
