Resistors play several crucial roles in X-ray equipment applications, there are 5 key functions.

  1. Current Control in X-ray Tube

Resistors are employed to regulate and control the flow of electrons in the X-ray tube. This control over electron flow helps manage and adjust the intensity of X-rays produced.

  1. Over-current Protection
    Resistors are often integrated into over-current protection circuits to prevent circuit overloads and damage. These circuits typically include current sensors and fuses, where resistors help limit the current to protect the equipment.
  2. Detector Circuits
    In X-ray imaging devices, detectors are crucial for sensing X-rays. Resistors may be part of the detector circuits, aiding in signal readout and processing. Different resistor values might be used to fine-tune electronic signals
  3. Heating Element for Cathode
    The cathode in the X-ray tube requires heating to emit electrons effectively. Resistors serve as heating elements, providing the necessary heat to facilitate electron emission.
  4. Control Circuits
    X-ray equipment incorporates sophisticated control systems for monitoring and adjusting parameters. Resistors are integral to these control circuits, allowing for precise adjustments in current, voltage, and other critical parameters to ensure proper device operation.
