Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present application is directed to an anode for an X-ray tube. The X-ray tube has an electron aperture through which electrons emitted from an electron source travel subject to substantially no electrical field and a target in a non-parallel relationship to the electron aperture and arranged to produce X-rays when electrons are incident upon a first side of the target, wherein the target further comprises a cooling channel located on a second side of the target. The cooling channel comprises a conduit having coolant contained therein. The coolant is at least one of water, oil, or refrigerant.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. An anode for an X-ray tube comprising an electron aperture through which electrons emitted from an electron source travel subject to substantially no electrical field; and a target, wherein said target comprises more than one target segment, wherein each of said target segments is in a non-parallel relationship to said electron aperture and arranged to produce X-rays when electrons are incident upon a first side of at least one of said target segments, wherein each o…
