Abstract:
The present invention provides an X-ray imaging system for capturing an X-ray image of teeth and a jawbone, including a tubular X-ray generating unit placed in an oral cavity, and a movable X-ray detection unit placed in the oral cavity outer side region corresponding to the X-ray generating unit and corresponding to a face or an X-ray detection unit having a curved surface shape similar to the face.The present invention having the configuration may obtain a teeth X-ray image with a large surface area while minimizing the dose of X-ray exposed to a patient by placing an X-ray generating device in the oral cavity and disposing a movable sensor or a sensor with a large surface area on the outer side of the oral cavity to obtain an X-ray image, reduce excessive X-ray exposure and foreign body sensation in the oral cavity, which a panoramic mode X-ray generating device or an oral sensor-type X-ray generating device in the related art has, to enhance the safety and convenience of the patient, and obtain a clear image with a large surface area, which helps a medical staff in making an exact judgment, with the least number of shootings.
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.
