X-Ray Apparatus Control Unit And Tube-Transformer Head

The X-Ray Apparatus Control Unit and Tube-Transformer Head are essential components of an X-ray machine used in medical imaging.

The Control Unit is responsible for regulating and controlling the X-ray machine's operation. It typically includes various controls and settings that allow the operator to adjust the X-ray exposure parameters, such as the kilovoltage (kV) and milliamperage (mA). The Control Unit also ensures the safety of the machine by incorporating safety features like exposure timers and radiation monitoring systems.

The Tube-Transformer Head, also known as the X-ray tube, is the part of the X-ray machine that generates the X-rays. It consists of a vacuum-sealed glass or metal enclosure containing an X-ray tube and a high-voltage transformer. The X-ray tube produces X-rays when high-voltage electricity is applied to it, while the transformer increases the voltage from the Control Unit to the necessary level for X-ray production.

Together, the Control Unit and Tube-Transformer Head work in tandem to produce and control the X-rays used in medical imaging procedures.
