MOBILE X-RAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING HIGH RESOLUTION X-RAY IMAGES (OPTIONS) Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC H05G2/00 G21G4/00 

FIELD: projection radiography.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to projection radiography using pulsed plasma as a point multi-pulse source of x-rays. The method for obtaining an x-ray image of an object includes pulsed irradiation of the object with x-rays emitted by the pulsed plasma and output of the x-rays through the window of the vacuum chamber to the detector. Preferably, a vacuum chamber is used containing a pocket which: communicates with the surrounding atmosphere, is located between the plasma generation region and the window of the vacuum chamber, contains inlet and outlet windows for the passage of x-rays. The object is placed in the specified pocket and removed after irradiation without depressurization of the vacuum chamber. The cycle of obtaining an enlarged X-ray image is repeated many times, at least 5 times, without depressurization of the vacuum chamber. Preferably, the plasma is an X-pinch plasma that is generated by electrically exploding a conductor at a load node. Reusable load change is carried out in an automated mode without depressurization of the vacuum chamber.

EFFECT: creation of a method and a mobile X-ray apparatus, which make it possible to increase the convenience and speed of obtaining enlarged X-ray images of objects, including living ones, with high spatial resolution.
