Modern Diagnostic X-Ray Sources
«
"The book is written very well – with logical and condense structure, which supports well its understanding. Reading the book requires knowledge of medical physics principles and is one of the best sources of information for preparation of lectures in the field of Physics and Equipment of X-ray Diagnostic Radiology.
The book of Dr Rolf Behling about X-ray tubes can be seen as a must for each Medical Physics Department with activities in X-ray Diagnostic Radiology – from Quality Control to selection/purchase of new X-ray equipment (and replacement X-ray tubes). For some countries the book can be seen also as a bridge between medical physics and clinical engineering activities.
We would like to conclude this brief review with a congratulation to the author for this unique excellent book with much needed detail about X-ray tubes – the devices which triggered the beginning of medical physics profession and still support over 2/3 of all medical imaging procedures."

Now fully updated, the second edition of Modern Diagnostic X-Ray Sources: Technology, Manufacturing, Reliability gives an up-to-date summary of X-ray source technology and design for applications in modern diagnostic medical imaging. Les mer
The book covers the physics of X-ray generation, including the process of constructing X-ray source devices. The stand-alone chapters can be read in order or in selections. They take you inside diagnostic X-ray tubes, illustrating their design, functions, metrics for validation, and interfaces. The detailed descriptions enable objective comparison and benchmarking.
This detailed presentation of X-ray tube creation and functions enables you to understand how to optimize tube efficiency, particularly with consideration for economics and environmental care. It also simplifies faultfinding. Along with covering the past and current state of the field, the book assesses the future regarding developing new X-ray sources that can enhance performance and yield greater benefits to the scientific community and to the public.
After heading international R&D, marketing and advanced development for X-ray sources with Philips, and working in the X-ray industry for more than four decades, Rolf Behling retired in 2020 and is now the owner of the consulting firm XtraininX, Germany. He holds numerous patents and is continuously publishing, consulting and training.
