  2. X-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_tube

    There are two basic types of microfocus X-ray tubes: solid-anode tubes and metal-jet-anode tubes. [citation needed] Solid-anode microfocus X-ray tubes are in principle very similar to the Coolidge tube, but with the important distinction that care has been taken to be able to focus the electron beam into a very small spot on the anode. Many ...

    Varian Associates was one of the first high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.It was founded in 1948 by Russell H. and Sigurd F. Varian, William Webster Hansen, and Edward Ginzton to sell the klystron, the first vacuum tube which could amplify electromagnetic waves at microwave frequencies, and other electromagnetic equipment.

    Formerly known as Toshiba Medical, a subsidiary of Toshiba, the company was an early pioneer on X-ray tubes in 1914 in Japan. Canon Medical Systems feature product such as MRI and helical CT. [2] The company was acquired by Canon Inc. in 2016. [3]

  6. 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.

  7. List of vacuum tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vacuum_tubes

    This is a list of vacuum tubes or thermionic valves, and low-pressure gas-filled tubes, or discharge tubes. Before the advent of semiconductor devices, thousands of tube types were used in consumer electronics.

  8. Peak kilovoltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_kilovoltage

    In early and basic X-ray equipment, the applied voltage varies cyclically, with one, two, or more pulses per mains AC power cycle. One standard way to measure pulsating DC is its peak amplitude, hence kVp. Most modern X-ray generators apply a constant potential across the X-ray tube; in such systems, the kVp and the steady-state kV are identical.

  9. RMA tube designation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMA_tube_designation

    V-- Flash tubes; W-- Travelling wave tube; X-- X-ray tube; Y-- Thermionic converter; The last 2 digits were serially assigned, beginning with 21 to avoid possible confusion with receiving tubes or CRT phosphor designations. Multiple section tubes (like the 3E29 or 8D21) are assigned a letter corresponding to ONE set of electrodes.
