  2. X-ray machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_machine

    An X-ray generator generally contains an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. Possibly, radioisotopes can also be used to generate X-rays. [1]An X-ray tube is a simple vacuum tube that contains a cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects the electrons and is made of tungsten to evacuate the heat generated by the collision.

    A portable wireless controlled battery powered X-ray generator for use in non-destructive testing and security.. Gamma radiation sources, [2] most commonly iridium-192 and cobalt-60, are used to inspect a variety of materials.

  7. Backscatter X-ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_X-ray

    Backscatter X-ray is an advanced X-ray imaging technology. Traditional X-ray machines detect hard and soft materials by the variation in x-ray intensity transmitted through the target. In contrast, backscatter X-ray detects the radiation that reflects from the target. It has potential applications where less-destructive examination is required ...

    Therefore beginning in the 1920s "orthovoltage" 200–500 kV X-ray machines were built. [8] These were found to be able to reach shallow tumors, but to treat tumors deep in the body more voltage was needed. By the 1930s and 1940s megavoltage X-rays produced by huge

  9. External beam radiotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_beam_radiotherapy

    Superficial radiation therapy machines produce low energy x-rays in the same energy range as diagnostic x-ray machines, 20–150 keV, to treat skin conditions. [2] Orthovoltage X-ray machines produce higher energy x-rays in the range 200–500 keV. Radiation from orthovoltage x-ray machines has been called "deep" due to its greater penetrating ...
