X-Ray Tube Features

• What are the main components of an X-ray tube?

  Cathode, anode, filament, vacuum tube
• What is the role of the cathode in an X-ray tube?

  It emits electrons directed towards the anode
• How does the filament contribute to the function of the cathode?

  It heats the cathode to generate electrons
• Why is a vacuum tube used in an X-ray tube?

  To prevent collisions and ensure efficient electron flow
• What does Port A represent in the X-ray tube diagram?

  Oil Tank
• What does Port F represent in the X-ray tube diagram?

  Window
• What is the function of the Oil Tank in an X-ray tube?

  It cools the X-ray tube by removing heat
• What is the function of the Window in an X-ray tube?

  It allows the passage of X-rays while minimizing interference
• What are the components and functions of an X-ray tube?

  • Components:
  • Cathode: Emits electrons
  • Anode: Receives electrons
  • Filament: Heats the cathode
  • Vacuum tube: Prevents collisions
  • Ports:
  • Port A: Oil Tank (cools the tube)
  • Port F: Window (allows X-ray passage)
