X-ray tube based on carbon nanotube field emitter for low dose mini C-arm fluoroscopy
We designed and developed the vacuum sealed x-ray tube based on carbon nanotube(CNT) field emitter for mobile medical x-ray devices and also design the test bed for CNT x-ray tube. The CNT was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method on a metal alloy substrate. The grown CNT is assembled with a gate and a focuser and then combined into an electron gun(e-gun) through a brazing process. The the e-gun had an aging process inside the vacuum chamber. As a result of aging, the CNT e-gun was able to generate anode current of 1.5 mA at electric field of about 4 V/μm, and field emission current was also stabilized. After the aging process, the e-gun was brazed into a ceramic X-ray tube inside a high-temperature furnace at a vacuum degree of E-06 torr and vacuum sealed. Field emission characteristic was measured using this X-ray tube and compared with an e-gun, and almost similar results were obtained. Incase of Xray tube, we applied a higher electric field while controlling the current at 500ms intervals through pulse driving. As a result, X-ray images of human teeth were successfully acquired using CNT X-ray tubes.
