Abstract

A direct conversion radiation detector includes a detector body made from a direct conversion material, a plurality of segmented electrode members operatively coupled to a radiation-receiving side of the detector body and at least one electrode operatively coupled to a second side of the detector body. The radiation detector is configured such that received radiation is incident on the segmented electrode members. The radiation detector provides reduced polarization effects for a variety of high flux radiation detection applications.

Abstract

An x-ray tube assembly includes an x-ray tube envelope, a cathode assembly and a transmission anode assembly. The transmission anode assembly includes an x-ray generation layer and an anode substrate. The x-ray generation layer may be annular and mounted on a rotating disc-shaped anode substrate or cylindrical and mounted on a rotating and/or oscillating cylindrical anode substrate.
