Methods and devices for anode voltage measurement in x-ray apparatuses

  • Reviews
  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Measurement of anode voltage of X-ray apparatuses is discussed. Operational parameters are considered and standard requirements for devices for noninvasive control of anode voltage are analyzed. A comparative specification table of modern X-ray apparatuses is presented. The dual-energy radiation method of measurement is described. Disadvantages of an indirect method of finding the practical peak voltage are shown.
