Patent number: 4217517Abstract: An x-ray tube providing a flat, fan-shaped uniform x-ray beam.The tube includes inside a vacuum glass envelope, a cathode or cathodes, a fixed or cylindrical rotating anode, and an anti-divergence diaphragm. The anti-divergence diaphragm has an opening, through which passes the beam. The walls of the opening have the shape of a sector of the fan-shaped beam in one plane (z-z'), and are flat in a perpendicular plane. A plurality of x-ray absorbing blades are positioned in the opening parallel to the fan-shaped side dividing the opening and the beam passing therethrough, thereby minimizing overall divergence of the beam. A plurality of cathodes may be used in the rotating anode tube, each separately focusable to provide beams of different intensity, and alternately operable.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1979Date of Patent: August 12, 1980Assignee: Compagnie Generale de RadiologieInventors: Jacques Delair, Jacques Le Guen
