    摘要: An x-ray system with an x-ray generating device having improved heat dissipation capabilities. The x-ray generating device includes an x-ray tube mounted in a casing holding a circulating, cooling medium. According to the present invention, the x-ray generating device includes a support mechanism mounted within the x-ray generating device in a manner for adjustably positioning, relative to the casing, the focal spot alignment path of generated x-rays. Additionally, the x-ray generating device includes a cooling mechanism having an inlet chamber for channeling the cooling medium within the support mechanism. Additionally, a cooling stem may be positioned within the inlet chamber to increase the heat exchange surface area exposed to the cooling medium. Thus, the present invention advantageously increases the heat dissipation capability of the x-ray generating device.

    摘要: An x-ray transmissive window assembly for use in metal framed x-ray tubes is formed of at least two layers of metal joined by explosion welding. An x-ray transmissive window, preferably comprising aluminum or an aluminum alloy, is joined to a transition layer, which is typically the same material as the x-ray tube vacuum vessel, to form the transmissive window assembly. The transmissive window is formed in the assembly by removing the transition layer material from the central region. A weld flange is prepared by removing the x-ray transmissive window material from the periphery of the assembly. The assembly is then welded into the x-ray tube vacuum vessel using traditional techniques. In another embodiment, a multi-layered window assembly comprises an x-ray transmissive window, a transition layer weldable to an x-ray tube vacuum vessel, and an intermediate layer that acts as a mask or aperture to attenuate peripheral radiation and clearly define the edges of the transmitted x-ray beam. The intermediate layer also acts as a diffusion barrier that prevents the formation of a brittle intermetallic layer between the transmissive window and transition layers during high temperature operation. Additionally, according to the present invention, an x-ray system comprising the above-described window assembly is disclosed.
