X-RAY TUBE
X-RAY TUBE COMPONENTS
• Glass envelope
• Cathode
• Anode
• Protective housing
FOCUSING CUP
• Metallic shroud containing the two filaments.
-Usually made from nickel.
• Contains a negative charge.
-Designed to repel electrons
-Designed to condense electron beam to small
area on focal track.
FILAMENT
• Made of thin tungsten wire which is source of
electrons.
• It works on the phenomenon of thermionic
emission.
• Tungsten is used because of
-High melting point
-Less tendency to vapourise
-High thermal conductivity
-Appropriate threshold or work function.
TARGET MATERIAL
• It is based on three charecteristics:
-High atomic number
-High thermal conductivity
-High melting point
FOCAL SPOT
• It is an area bombarded by the electrons stream on
the target.
• A small focal spot is required for producing good
radiographic detail but it may also lead to
overheating of target.
• Whereas Large focal spot allows greater heat
loading but doesn't produce sharp image.
• This problem was now solved by LINE FOCUS
PRINCIPLE.
SPACE CHARGE
• It is inability to operate the current and voltage of
the xray tube independently.
• When filament is heated,emission of electrons
takes place.
• In the absence of high voltage,this electrons remain
around the filament.
• This cloud repels new electrons from the
filament.This tendency is known as SPACE CHARGE
EFFECT
• Since space charge is negatively charged,so its
presence around filament prevent further emission
of electrons.
• When high voltage is applied , electrons move
towards anode.Therefore,space charge effect is
diminished.
TUBE CURRENT(mA)
• Filament current is not Tube current. It is the rate
of electron flow from filament to target electrons
per second.
• Measured in milliamperes(mA)
• Limited by
-filament emission(temperature/filament current)
-space charge
KILOVOLTAGE & SPACE CHARGE
• Raising kvp gradually overcomes space charge
-Higher fraction of electronsmake it to anode as
kvp increases.
- Below 40kvp,the current flow is limited by
space charge effect.
-Above 40kvp, this space charge has no
influence on current flowing in the xray tube.
THANK YOU
