  • Method of determining voltage and current for a given operating period of an X-ray source
    Patent number: 4638500
    Abstract: A method of determining the optimum values of voltage and current for operation of an X-ray source by choosing a point of intersection at the lowest voltage value of a curve representing an operating range limitation function of the X-ray source with a curve representing a current-voltage function that passes through a desired operating current value that is determined by means of one or more exposure measurements.
