[Extrafocal radiation of medical x-ray tubes with a rotating anode].
A method for measuring the fraction of extrafocal radiation in the x-ray output of x-ray tubes was developed and tested under clinical conditions. A fraction of 10% was found, that increases with tube voltage and field size, while tube current and focal spot size have no influence. As a measure for the influence of off-focus radiation on image quality the contrast transfer function was used. Off-focus radiation causes detectable geometric unsharpness. If screen-film-systems are used, the unsharpness is negligible compared with the screen unsharpness. Ways for reducing off-focus radiation from medical x-ray tubes are discussed.
