Abstract (en)

[origin: US4796286A] In X-ray generators comprising a converter for generating the high-voltage for an X-ray tube, substantial dose fluctuations are liable to occur from one exposure to another of series involving a fixed exposure time due to supply voltage fluctuations or fluctuations in the object absorption. These dose fluctuations are more pronounced as the exposure time is shorter and as the converter frequency is lower. These fluctuations are reduced by terminating a series of exposures each time after the same number of converter alternations when the deviation between the actual value and the reference value of the dose or the dose rate is smaller than a predetermined value.
