Title:
X-RAY GENERATOR, X-RAY IMAGER, AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING X-RAY GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/189735
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This X-ray generator is provided with: an X-ray generation device; an X-ray detector that detects X-ray emitted from the X-ray generation device; and a control device that controls the X-ray generation device. The X-ray generation device comprises an X-ray generation tube including an electron gun and a target that is caused to generate X-ray by receiving an electron beam emitted from the electron gun; a support structure that supports the X-ray generation tube; and a deflector that deflects the electron beam. The support structure supports the X-ray generation tube in such a way as to allow for rotation of at least the target, with the deflector fixed in place. The control device determines whether the target needs to be rotated, in accordance with the usage of the X-ray generation device and/or a change in the X-ray generated by the X-ray generation device.
