Abstract: A rotating X-ray anode for generating X-radiation has an annular main body made of carbon-based material, an annular focal track covering, which is arranged on a focal track side of the main body, and a metal connection component, which is arranged radially inside relative to the main body. A radially outer portion of the connection component is formed by a tubular metal adapter. The radial outside surface of the adapter is at least partly joined, face to face and integrally, to at least a portion of the radial inside surface of the main body. An integral joining zone between the main body and the adapter extends over at least 75 percent of the area of the radial inside surface of the main body.

Abstract: An X-ray source (100) for generating X-ray radiation of first and second energy spectra is proposed, wherein the X-ray intensity imbalance between the first and second energy spectra is reduced as compared to conventional X-ray sources. The reduction of the X-ray intensity imbalance is achieved by configuring a smaller electron impact angle (141) onto the anode (102) when the higher tube voltage is applied as compared to when the lower tube voltage is applied.

Abstract: An X-ray source device includes a cathode arrangement including a cathode device arranged to emit an electron beam therefrom. An anode arrangement includes an anode spaced apart from the cathode device at a focal distance and arranged to receive the electron beam from the cathode device at one of a plurality of focal spots thereon. The anode is movable such that each of the focal spots is alignable to receive the electron beam, in some instances while maintaining the focal distance of the anode from the cathode device. An associated method of forming an X-ray source device is also provided.

Abstract: Provided is an X-ray tube including a cathode structure, an anode spaced apart from the cathode structure, a spacer structure disposed between the cathode structure and the anode, and an external power supply connected to each of the cathode structure, the anode, and the spacer structure. Here, the spacer structure includes a first spacer disposed adjacent to the cathode structure and a second spacer disposed on the first spacer and disposed adjacent to the anode. The first spacer includes a first portion adjacent to the cathode structure and a second portion adjacent to a contact point of the first spacer and the second spacer. The second spacer includes a third portion adjacent to the contact point and a fourth portion adjacent to the anode. Each of the first portion and the third portion has a volume resistivity less than that of the second portion.

Abstract: The X-ray imaging apparatus includes: a main power supply operation unit for switching ON/OFF of power supply to the X-ray imaging apparatus; a braking unit for decelerating a rotation speed of the anode to a predetermined braking speed lower than a resonance range which is a rotation speed of the anode at which resonance occurs in the X-ray tube; and a non-braking stop prediction unit configured to detect a predetermined situation in which a non-braking stop state is predicted, the non-braking stop state being a state in which the main power supply operation unit is operated to be turned to an OFF state without decelerating the rotating anode by the braking unit. The non-braking stop prediction unit activates the braking unit by detecting the predetermined situation to decrease the rotation speed of the anode to the braking speed.

Abstract: Provided is an X-ray imaging system capable of performing X-ray imaging quickly. The X-ray imaging system is provided with: an X-ray tube device including a cathode and an anode, the X-ray tube device being capable of performing X-ray imaging by irradiating an imaging target with X-rays in a state of rotating the anode; a light irradiation device including a collimator defining an X-ray irradiation range of the X-rays with respect to the imaging target, a visible light irradiation unit for emitting visible light to the imaging target and a light irradiation operation unit for performing an operation for making the visible light irradiation unit in the light irradiation state; and a controller for controlling operations of the X-ray tube device and the light irradiation device. The controller rotates the anode at an imaging possible rotation speed capable of performing X-ray imaging when the light irradiation operation unit is operated.

Abstract: An X-ray radiator and an X-ray assembly are disclosed. The X-ray radiator according to an embodiment has an evacuated X-ray tube housing, mounted to be rotatable about a rotation axis, the X-ray tube housing including an anode and an electron source. The anode is arranged within the X-ray tube housing non-rotatably relative to the X-ray tube housing and is configured to generate X-ray radiation via electrons impacting upon a focal spot of the anode, the electron source being mounted substantially stationary within the X-ray tube housing relative to the rotation axis. The electron source has a main emitter and at least one subsidiary emitter for emitting electrons. The electron emission of the main emitter and/or of the at least one subsidiary emitter is controllable such that a spatial movement of the focal spot due to a movement of the electron source is reduced.
