FOCUSING CUP / CATHODE BLOCK
When no voltage is applied between the anode an electron cloud
- space charge cloud- builds around the filament.
![Page 19: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Bremsstrahlung X Rays
Do you know side effect of space charge cloud?
The space charge cloud the limits the tube current. Increase in the
filament current does not increases the tube current.
![Page 20: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
FOCUSING CUP / CATHODE BLOCK
X-ray tube is space charge limited up to 40 kVp.
![Page 21: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
FOCUSING CUP / CATHODE BLOCK
Higher kVp produces slightly higher tube current for the same
filament current.
This relationship does not continue indefinitely. Beyond a
certain kVp, saturation occurs and a further increase in kVp
does not significantly increase the tube current.

ANODE
![Page 25: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ANODE
The anode is a metal target electrode that is maintained at a
positive potential difference relative to the cathode.
Electrons striking the anode deposit the most of their energy as
heat, with a small fraction emitted as x-rays.
![Page 26: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ANODE

![Page 27: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ANODE
Production of x-rays, in quantities necessary for acceptable
image quality, generates a large amount of heat in the anode.
To avoid heat damage to the x-ray tube, the rate of x-ray
production must be limited.
![Page 28: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ANODE
Tungsten (Z = 74) is the most widely used anode material because
of its high melting point and high atomic number.
Do you know what is the widely used anode metal?

![Page 31: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ANODE
Stationary and rotating anode configurations.
![Page 32: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ANODE-STATIONARY
The small stationary target area limits the heat dissipation rate
and consequently limits the maximum tube current and thus the
x-ray flux.
Many dental x-ray units, portable x-ray machines, and portable
fluoroscopy systems use fixed anode x-ray tubes.
![Page 33: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ANODE-ROTATING
Rotating anodes have greater heat loading and higher x-ray
output capabilities.
![Page 34: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ANODE-ROTATING
Electrons impart their energy on a continuously rotating
target, spreading thermal energy over a large area and mass
of the anode disk.
![Page 35: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
ANODE-ROTATING
X-ray machines are designed so that the x-ray tube will not
be energized if the anode is not up to full speed.
This is the cause for the short delay (1 to 2 seconds) when
the x-ray tube exposure button is pushed.
![Page 36: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

ANODE-ROTATING
The anode angle is
defined as the angle of
the target surface with
respect to the central ray
in the x-ray field.
![Page 38: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

ANODE-ROTATING
The actual focal spot size is the area on
the anode that is struck by electrons.
It is primarily determined by the length
of the cathode filament and the width of
the focusing cup slot.
![Page 40: L 2 ct physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55d12ed6bb61eb01408b459a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
