Its rotating speed is 3,600 to 10,000 revolutions per minute. The rotating the anode helps heat that is produced to be dispersed, and the tube current can be increased to increase the intensity of X-rays. The rotating anodes can also produces a heterogeneous beam of radiation]]> 2023-01-19 14:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/liberm/hv6motjv5235zh59/wish/2449873817 liberm https://padlet.com/liberm/hv6motjv5235zh59/wish/2449873931 Helical/spiral scanners have additional tube requirements and demands that sustain higher power levels which can withstand additional heat generation and help dissipate heat.]]> 2023-01-19 14:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/liberm/hv6motjv5235zh59/wish/2449873931 liberm https://padlet.com/liberm/hv6motjv5235zh59/wish/2449874088 The tube envelope has a vacuum which provides structural support and and high insulation of the anode and cathode. The anode has a disk, rotor, rotor stud and hub, and bearings]]> 2023-01-19 14:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/liberm/hv6motjv5235zh59/wish/2449874088 liberm https://padlet.com/liberm/hv6motjv5235zh59/wish/2449874174 Filtration reduces x-ray intensity, but not the maximum energy of the x-ray beam spectrum. There are two types of filtration: inherent and added filtration. Inherent filtration shapes the energy distribution across the radiation beam to produce uniform beam hardening and added filtration helps solves beam hardening effect for the CT detector system]]> 2023-01-19 14:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/liberm/hv6motjv5235zh59/wish/2449874174
