Abstract

Described is a self-contained, small, lightweight, power-efficient and radiation-shielded module (400) that includes a miniature vacuum X-ray tube (120) emitting X-rays of a controlled intensity and defined spectrum. Feedback control circuits are used to monitor and maintain the beam current and voltage (700). The X-ray tube (120), high­voltage power supply (118), and the resonant converter (108) are encapsulated in a solid high­voltage insulating material (600). The module (400) can be configured into complex geometries and can be powered by commercially available small, compact, low-voltage batteries.
