Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The anode heel effect in a rotating anode x-ray tube occurs in a direction parallel to the anode-cathode axis. This phenomenon affects the intensity of the x-ray beam, resulting in varying exposure levels across the imaging field. Understanding this effect is crucial for optimizing image quality and radiation dose in medical imaging applications. The detailed mechanics and implications of the anode heel effect are thoroughly examined in the referenced article.
