ABSTRACT:
A unitary portable X-ray apparatus including a high voltage section, an X-ray generator section and a cooled anode section. Preferably the sections are cylindrical and arranged end to end with at least the X-ray section being separated from the high voltage section by generally conically shaped bushings extending into the X-ray generator section. A cathode mounted in the extending end of the bushings and connected to a high voltage generator in the high voltage generator section contains a filament to which an AC voltage is applied by electromagnetic induction. A shielded anode mounted in the anode section and having a target therein has an open end extending into the X-ray section for axially aligning the target with the filament. Alternatively, the outer end sections may both be high voltage sections each separated from the X-ray generator section by generally conically shaped bushings extending into the X-ray generator section. In the latter embodiment, both the anode and the cathode are mounted in the X-ray generator section.
