ABSTRACT:
An X-ray generator for powering an X-ray tube, has at least two electron sources for forming focal spots of different sizes at the same area of the anode. The resolution can be adapted to relevant requirements by associating each electron source with a respective control unit which produces an electron flow between the associated electron source and the anode, which flow is dependent on a control signal at a control input of the control unit, the two control units being activatable during an X-ray exposure and each control signal being adjustable, and hence also the ratio of the mAs products supplied by the electron sources.
