Electron beam tomography (EBT) is a specific form of CT in which a large enough X-ray tube is constructed so that only the path of the electrons, travelling between the cathode and anode of the X-ray tube, are spun using deflection coils. Source: Internet
It can also occur when the power supplied to the X-ray tube is insufficient to penetrate the anatomy. Source: Internet
Legend: T: X-ray tube D: X-ray detectors X: X-ray beam R: Gantry rotation CT is used in medicine as a diagnostic tool and as a guide for interventional procedures. Source: Internet
The main limitation of this type is the bulk and inertia of the equipment (X-ray tube assembly and detector array on the opposite side of the circle) which limits the speed at which the equipment can spin. Source: Internet
The simplest and cheapest variety of sealed X-ray tube has a stationary anode (the Crookes tube ) and run with ~2 kW of electron beam power. Source: Internet
When placing an X-ray tube on the opposite side of a wooden door Röntgen had noted the same blue glow, seeming to emanate from the eye itself, but thought his observations to be spurious because he only saw the effect when he used one type of tube. Source: Internet
