X-ray tubes

An X-ray tube is a device used to produce X-rays, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Inside the tube, electrons are generated and accelerated toward a metal target. When these high-speed electrons collide with the target, they produce X-rays. The X-ray beam is then directed toward the area of interest in a patient's body to create images that help diagnose medical conditions. X-ray tubes are essential in medicine for imaging bones and tissues, enabling doctors to see inside the body non-invasively. They are also used in various fields, including industrial applications and security.
