ABSTRACT:
A method for generating X-rays in an X-ray tube, comprises the steps of: rotating an X-ray target of a rotating anode, the X-ray target having a metal coated layer thereon; applying electron beams emitted from a cathode onto the metal coated layer of the X-ray target; and offsetting thermal deformation of the X-ray target due to the application of the electron beams by deformation of the X-ray target due to centrifugal force, thereby maintaining a position of the X-ray target in a direction of the application of the electron beams, at a room temperature of the X-ray target, thus generating the X-rays.
