X-ray tube target and / or filament, X-ray tube, target and / or filament identification method, and target and / or filament characteristic setting method

摘要

A target 1 / filament 5 for an X-ray tube 9 comprising a target base 10 / filament holder and a target element 11 / filament element attached to the target base 10 / filament holder. 10 / Identification elements 8, 14, and 15 are mounted on the filament holder, and the identification elements 8, 14, and 15 are identified in cooperation with the capture elements 13, 16, and 18 on the X-ray tube 9. The identification element 8, 14, 15 can have a unique association with the characteristics of the target 1 / filament 5. A method for identifying a specific target 1 and / or a specific filament 5, wherein the capture elements 13, 16, 18 attached to the X-ray tube 9 are attached to the target substrate 10 and / or the filament holder. A method of identifying the elements 8, 14, 15 and the target 1 and / or the filament 5 are uniquely associated with the identification elements 8, 14, 15 using a database. A method of automatically setting the characteristics of a specific target 1 and / or a specific filament 5 installed in the X-ray tube 9, and after performing the above method, each identification element 8, 14, 15 or target 1 And / or the properties stored in the database for the filament 5 are transferred to a plurality of setting devices for each property, and these properties are set via the plurality of setting devices.
