Monte Carlo Simulations of a Scanning System Based on a Panoramic X-Ray Tube with a Conical Anode

Figure 8

The dependences of the inclination angle, associated with the maximum value of the flux of generated X-rays (upper plot), and the maximum value of the flux of generated X-rays (lower plot) on the value of the apex angle of the conical anode at different electron beam radii: 0.5 mm (1), 2.0 mm (2), and 5.0 mm (3). The electron energy is 500 keV.
