X-RAY TUBE ANODE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medical diagnostics and therapy, non- destructive tests and research work, inspection of materials. SUBSTANCE: anode has target and base. Target-base interface in vicinity of electron beam action with plane crossing electron beam axis is proposed to be made in the form of ellipse whose half-axes are to be chosen so that target-base interface represented isotherm with temperature not over that of base for maximal power of X-ray tube. EFFECT: enhanced service life and loading capacity of tube anode. 5 cl, 2 dwg
