X-ray source with an integrated curved anode for a computer tomography system

摘要

An imaging system (10) has a an object on a table (46) rotating gantry (12) on. A cathode emitter (52) is connected to the gantry (12) and generates an electron beam is coupled. A likewise with the gantry (12) coupled anode (17) is stationary with respect to the cathodes of an emitter container (52), and produces, in a function of the electron beam an x-ray beam flow (16). A detector (20) is connected to the gantry (12) and arranged for coupled, the electron beam flow (16) for receiving and a detector signal to produce therefrom.
