Problems solved by technology

Deviations of this actual tube voltage from the nominal value are quantitatively up to 40% and lead to non-monochromatic radiation at the start or end of the radiation and to an increased risk of arcing in the event of an overvoltage peak and the resulting arcing and other hazards
This leads to an interaction of the acquisition time in the beam quality and is therefore significant especially in the case of very short pulses

Abstract

The present embodiments improve the radiation monochromy of an x-ray device with a control electrode for controlling a flow of electrons generated between a cathode and an anode. A correction voltage is generated in accordance with a correction function. This correction voltage is used for correction of a voltage applied between the anode and the cathode in terms of a constant voltage, even in the period of control using the control electrode. The voltage applied between the anode and the cathode is corrected with the generated correction voltage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an x-ray system having a control electrode for controlling the electron flow generated between a cathode and an anode and to a method for operating the x-ray system. Background technique [0002] X-rays are widely used in medical diagnosis. The generation of x-rays usually takes place here by means of so-called x-ray tubes. X-ray tubes generally include an envelope in which a vacuum is established. In addition, the tube is configured with an anode and a cathode located inside the vacuum envelope. For operation, the cathode is usually heated in order to support the emission of electrons. X-ray generation is then performed by applying a voltage between the anode and cathode. This is usually a high voltage in the range of 40-125 kV, which is provided by so-called x-ray generators (generators). The applied voltage causes electrons to come out of the cathode, be accelerated and when they hit the anode generate X-rays which exit...
