According to one embodiment, an X-ray tube includes a vacuum enclosure in which an output window which transmits X-rays is formed, an anode target provided in the vacuum enclosure so as to oppose the output window, a cathode filament provided in the vacuum enclosure, that emits electrons to be irradiated onto the anode target, a power feed section to which a high voltage cable is connected, and an insulating portion that covers the power feed section and the high-voltage cable with an insulating material, and the power feed section includes a contact surface with which a distal end surface of the high-voltage cable is brought into contact, and an angle formed by the contact surface and the side surface of the high-voltage cable is an acute angle.

X-ray tube

According to one embodiment, an X-ray tube includes an outer envelope that maintains a vacuum inside, an anode target provided inside the envelope and generating X-rays by collision of thermal electrons, and a cathode electron gun provided inside the envelope and emitting thermal electrons toward the anode target, and the X-ray tube includes an envelope assembly including a metal-made cylindrical support fixing portion and constituting the envelope, and an anode assembly including a metal-made support holding the cathode electron gun, and the support of the cathode assembly is fixed to an inner circumferential side thereof by welding.

X-ray tube and method of manufacturing X-ray tube

According to one embodiment, an X-ray tube device includes a cathode which emits electrons, an anode target which generates X-rays when the electrons emitted from the cathode collide therewith, a first tube portion, a second tube portion which forms a flow path of a coolant together with the first tube portion, and a protective film. The protective film covers an inner surface of the first tube portion, and is formed of hard gold.
