Abstract

An X-ray tube device according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: a positive pole target (35) provided with a target surface wherewith an electron collides to generate X-ray; a negative pole (36) provided with a plurality of electron generation sources, each emitting an electron; a vacuum enclosing vessel (31) housing the negative pole and the positive pole target, and sealed in such a manner that the interior is vacuum-tight; and a quadrupole magnetic field generation unit (60), which forms a magnetic field by being supplied a direct current from a power source, is disposed outside of the vacuum enclosing vessel, and is constituted from a quadrupole surrounding the periphery of the electron trajectory of each of the electrons emitted from each of the plurality of electron generation sources.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments relate to an X-ray tube device. [0002] (References to related applications) [0003] This application is based on the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-037843 filed on February 27, 2015, claims the benefit of priority thereof, and incorporates the entire contents of the above Japanese Patent Application into this application by reference. Background technique [0004] In the fields of medical diagnostic devices and non-destructive inspections, inspections using X-ray tube devices such as X-ray transmission imaging and X-ray CT (Computed Tomography: computerized tomography) are widely performed. [0005] In recent years, in the field of CT, the technique of dual energy imaging (Dual Energy Imaging) has attracted attention. Dual-energy imaging is a method of forming an image using the difference in the attenuation of matter depending on the average energy of X-rays. According to different two tube voltages (for example, 140kV an...
