Abstract: As an x-ray tube expands and contracts during heating and cooling, its hermetic seal can be damaged. A more robust hermetic seal, particularly as the x-ray tube is heated and cooled, is desirable. The x-ray tube described herein can include a proximal-housing 13 and a distal-housing 14, which can be connected to each other by an interface-ring 15 for improved hermetic seal. Added x-ray tube weight, of material used for blocking x-rays, can make it difficult to transport the x-ray tube. Reducing this weight is desirable. A maximum outer diameter Dp of the proximal-housing 13 can be greater than a maximum outer diameter Dd of the distal-housing 14, for improved blocking of x-rays. This diameter difference can allow improved x-ray shielding with less material.

Abstract: Provided is a radiation generating tube in which an insulating tube is prevented from being damaged by heat generation of a target or an electron emitting source during drive. Extending portions extending along an outer periphery of an insulating tube are provided to a cathode and an anode, respectively, and the insulating tube is joined to the extending portions to enhance the strength of joint portions. At the same time, the insulating tube can be deformed easily by setting a tube wall thickness of the insulating tube at a central portion in a longitudinal direction to be smaller than a tube wall thickness of an opening end, and thus the concentration of thermal stress on the joint portions caused by an increase in temperature of the cathode and the anode is alleviated.
