Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a construction having a radiation tube in an envelope filled with an insulating liquid, a radiation generating apparatus which realizes a miniaturization of the apparatus, an improvement of a withstanding voltage between the envelope and the radiation tube, and a decrease in attenuation amount of the radiation and a radiation imaging apparatus using the radiation generating apparatus are provided. The radiation generating apparatus has an envelope 12 having a first window 27 for transmitting the radiation, a radiation tube 14 enclosed in the envelope 12 and having a second window 19 for transmitting the radiation at a position in opposition to the first window 27 , and an insulating liquid 13 filled between the envelope 12 and the radiation tube 14 . A solid-state insulating member 28 is placed between the first window 27 and its periphery and the second window 19 and its periphery.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A radiation generating apparatus comprising: an envelope having a first window for transmitting radiation; a transmitting-type radiation tube held within said envelope, and having a transmitting-type target, a second window supporting said transmitting-type target and a tubular anode member holding said second window, with a space defined between said transmitting-type radiation tube and said envelope; an insulating liquid filling said space between said…
