Design and production of a fixed anode x-ray tube

Abstract

Nowadays, X-ray has had a wide range of applications in nuclear imaging, medicine, and industry. In our country, X‑rays are widely used in these fields. However, we are in dependence on foreign sources on the X-ray devices. In our study, it is aimed to design a fixed anode type X-ray tube which is essential in medical imaging techniques by using the local opportunities, to carry out production of a prototype and to observe the X-rays experimentally. As a result, an X-ray tube is designed and three X-ray tube prototypes are manufactured by forming of Pyrex glass. X-rays are measured by using dental X-ray film and Geiger Muller counter.
