X-RAY SOURCE MODULE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H01J35/02 H05G1/02 A61B6/03 

FIELD: roentgen engineering; producing roentgenograms, for instance in medicine.

SUBSTANCE: proposed X-ray source module has X-ray tube incorporating body, cathode and anode assemblies, as well as generator unit incorporating high-rating voltage divider whose high-voltage lead is connected to one of tube assemblies; X-ray tube body is made in the form of metal cylinder accommodating sectionalized cylindrical high-voltage insulator. One of its ends is connected through vacuum-tight joint to one of body ends and other end mounts cathode assembly. Anode assembly is disposed on other end of body and is made in the form of anode tube brought outside the body that carries target on its loose end. Generator unit is disposed inside cylindrical high-voltage insulator whose inner space is filled with oil. Side surface of insulator functions as high-rating voltage divider.

EFFECT: reduced mass and size of module.
