Abstract: An X-ray generating apparatus for generating X-rays by irradiating a target with an electron beam. Wherein the apparatus includes a vibration applying means for vibrating the target in directions parallel to a surface thereof. A colliding spot of the electron beam is movable on the target while maintaining an X-ray focus in the same position on the electron beam without fluctuating the X-ray focal position. This enlarges an actual area of electron collision on the target to disperse the generated heat, thereby to suppress a local temperature rise of the target due to the electron collision. The X-ray generating apparatus is compact, and has a long life and a high X-ray intensity.

Abstract: A motion correction system and method for motion correction for an x-ray tube is presented. One embodiment of the motion correction system includes a sensing unit coupled to an x-ray tube to determine a distance with which an impingement location of an electron beam generated by the x-ray tube deviates from a determined location due to motion of the x-ray tube. The motion correction system further includes a control unit coupled to the sensing unit to generate a control signal corresponding to the distance with which the impingement location of the electron beam deviates. Also, the motion correction system includes a deflection unit coupled to the control unit to steer the electron beam to the determined location based on the generated control signal.
