Abstract

A radiogenic unit comprising an X-ray tube with fixed anode made of copper and its circuit for high-voltage supply in single-pole mode, these elements being placed in two parts that are imperviously sealed against fixed against X-rays, secured to each other in a hermetically sealed way. The first part, made of an electrically insulating material, has cavities for the housing of the X-ray tube and its supply circuit. The second part, made of material with high thermal conductivity, comprises a cavity for the housing of the tube, the anode of which is connected to a thermal and electrical frame. It can be applied particularly to radiology instruments.
