In this video, we will learn about the components of a diagnostic x-ray tube and how they work together to produce x-rays. A diagnostic x-ray tube is a device that converts electrical energy into electromagnetic radiation, which can be used for medical imaging.
The main components of an x-ray tube are:-
1. The cathode,
2. The anode,
3. The vacuum envelope
4. The Tube Housing

The cathode is a negatively charged electrode that emits electrons when heated by a filament. The anode is a positively charged electrode that rotates at high speed and serves as a target for the electrons. The vacuum envelope is a glass or metal tube that encloses the cathode and the anode and prevents air from interfering with the electron flow. When a high voltage is applied between the cathode and the anode, electrons are accelerated from the cathode to the anode and collide with its surface. This collision produces x-rays that exit through a window in the envelope and can be directed to an object or patient for imaging.
