    Abstract: Multi-energy radiation sources comprising charged particle accelerators driven by power generators providing different RF powers to the accelerator, capable of interlaced operation, are disclosed. Automatic frequency control techniques are provided to match the frequency of RF power provided to the accelerator with the accelerator resonance frequency. In one example where the power generator is a mechanically tunable magnetron, an automatic frequency controller is provided to match the frequency of RF power pulses at one power to the accelerator resonance frequency when those RF power pulses are provided, and the magnetron is operated such that frequency shift in the magnetron at the other power at least partially matches the resonance frequency shift in the accelerator when those RF power pulses are provided. In other examples, when the power generator is a klystron or electrically tunable magnetron, separate automatic frequency controllers are provided for each RF power pulse. Methods and systems are disclosed.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray system (2) for tomosynthetic scanning of an object (6), comprising an X-ray source (8), emitting an X-ray beam (20) for irradiating the object (6) during the tomosynthetic scanning which may be pivoted relative to the object (6) and a 2D X-ray detector (10) essentially fixed relative to the object (6) during tomosynthetic scanning, for receiving the X-ray radiation (20), the X-ray source (8) having at least two radiation sources (18a,b) arranged one behind the other with relation to the beam directions (22a,b) towards the object (6) thereof and which can be triggered independently of each other. According to a method for tomosynthetic scanning of an object (6) X-ray radiation (20) is emitted from an X-ray source (8) to pass through the object (6), during the tomosynthetic scanning the X-ray source (8) is pivoted relative to the object (6), the X-ray radiation (20) is detected by a 2D x-ray detector (10) which remains essentially fixed relative to the X-ray source (8) during the tomosynthetic scanning, the X-ray radiation (20) being emitted by at least two radiation sources (18a,b) in the X-ray source (8) arranged one behind the other with relation to the beam directions (22a,b) towards the object (6) thereof and which can be triggered independently of each other.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to X-ray generating technology in general. Providing an electron collecting element of an X-ray generating device statically may allow for the manufacture of X-ray systems with reduced moving parts and actuating parts, possibly reducing manufacturing costs and sources for failure. Consequently, an electron collecting element with increased thermal loadability is presented. According to the present invention, an electron collecting element (28) is provided, comprising a surface element (22) and a heat conducting element (26). The heat conducting element (26) comprises a first thermal conductivity in a first direction and at least a second thermal conductivity in at least a second direction. The first thermal conductivity is greater than the second thermal conductivity. The first direction is substantially perpendicular to the surface element (22).
