Miniature CNT-based X-ray tube: assessment for use in intraoperative radiation therapy
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2017 Carbon nanotube (CNT) is a new technology used to generate gamma photons in X-ray tubes. CNTs, in comparison to other small X-ray sources, produce high X-ray intensities and as they are not based on a thermionic principle they considered cold electron ...
