Comparison of X-ray sources on the basis of bremsstrahlung and parametric radiations

Abstract

The comparative analysis of the X-ray tube and source on the basis of parametric X-ray radiation has been carried out. The parametric X-ray radiation intensity of source on the basis of compact linear accelerator with beam energy of 6 MeV and current of 100 ?A is compared with intensity of ordinary X-ray tube. The performance of slow change of parametric X-ray line energy in a wide range from 6 to 130 keV with line width of about 300 eV may provide the good contrast of received image and decreases the radiation dose
