Medical X-Ray Generator Market 2018 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2023
Medical (Diagnostic) X-ray generators are designed to provide electrical energy to be converted into X radiation. The quality and quantity of X radiation is pre-determined by the radiographer who sets the appropriate exposure factors at the control desk. The principal function of an x-ray generator is to provide current at a high voltage to an x-ray tube. Electrical power available to a hospital or clinic provides up to about 480 V, much lower than the 20,000 to 150,000 V needed for x-ray production. Transformers are principal components of x-ray
