TARGET AND/OR FILAMENT FOR AN X-RAY TUBE, X-RAY TUBE, METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A TARGET AND/OR A FILAMENT AND METHOD FOR SETTING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A TARGET AND/OR A FILAMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a target (1) / filament (5) for an X-ray tube (9) having a target base (10) / filament holder and a target base (10) / filament holder, 14 and 15 are attached on the target base 10 / filament holder, and the identification elements 8, 14 and 15 are attached to the X- 14, 15 have unique allocation information for the characteristics of the target (1) / filament (5). The identification element (8, 14, 15) The present invention also relates to a method of identifying a specific target 1 and / or a particular filament 5, wherein the acquisition element 13, 16, 18 attached to the X- And / or the identification element 8, 14, 15 attached to the filament holder, wherein the target 1 and / or the filament 5 is uniquely assigned to the identification element 8, 14, 15 by the database do. Finally, the present invention also relates to a method for automatically setting the characteristics of the target 1 and / or the filament 5 installed in the X-ray tube 9 and, after carrying out the identification method described above, Characterized in that the characteristics stored in the database for the identification element (8, 14, 15) or the target (1) and / or the filament (5) are transferred to setting devices for setting the respective characteristics, Lt; / RTI
