Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for determining a distance between a focal spot and a port of a radiation source are disclosed. A method for determining a distance from a focal spot to a port in an X-ray tube can include attaching a fixture to an X-ray tube, generating X-rays by the X-ray tube, and calculating a distance from a focal spot to a port of the X-ray tube. An X-ray sensitive material on the fixture can be exposed to the X-rays generated by the X-ray tube through an opening in the fixture. The distance from the focal spot to the port of the X-ray tube can be calculated based on features of the opening detected by the X-ray sensitive material.
