The invention discloses a
filament current value calibration method and device for an X-
ray tube, and the method comprises the steps: receiving a few of to-be-calibrated tube current values and to-be-calibrated tube
voltage values; obtaining a preset
filament current value according to the to-be-calibrated tube current values, the to-be-calibrated tube
voltage values, and the relation among a preset tube current value, a preset tube
voltage value and the
filament current value; receiving a first actual tube current value, collected externally, of the X-
ray tube under the action of the to-be-calibrated tube voltage values and the preset filament current value during
exposure; judging the size relation between the absolute value of the difference, between a first actual tube current value and the to-be-calibrated tube current value, and a first preset difference value, and the size relation between the absolute value of the difference, between the first actual tube current value and the to-be-calibrated tube current value, and a second preset difference value; and enabling the preset filament current value to serve as a calibrated standard filament current value corresponding to the first actual tube current value and the to-be-calibrated tube voltage value when the absolute value is less than or equal to the first preset difference value. The method is small in number of
exposure times, and does not cause the service life of the X-
ray tube to be reduced.
