X-ray tube with improved temperature control.

摘要

In order to enhance the dissipation of heat, a metal structure (58) is provided between an anode target layer (12) and a support for the anode target layer (10) in an X-ray tube. In the case of a target transmission tube, notably the dissipation of heat to the window wall is enhanced, whereas in the case of an anode target layer provided on a suitably thermally conductive anode body, the dissipation of heat to said body is enhanced. <IMAGE>
