Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0584871A1] The invention relates to an X-ray tube having a transmission anode which comprises a target layer (which electrons strike in the operating mode and consists of one or more metals of high atomic number) and a carrier layer (which is connected to the target layer and consists of one or more materials of low atomic number). In this case, an increased radiation intensity is achieved in that the angle theta between the incidence direction of the electrons and that portion of the X-rays emitted by the carrier layer which is used outside the X-ray tube is between 10 DEG and 40 DEG . <IMAGE>
