Details About Tube Housing
The tube housing encloses the x ray tube in a protective lead lined shell that absorbs stray radiation. It contains insulating oil for cooling and electrical insulation and includes the exit window for the primary beam.
History of Tube Housing
Tube housings were introduced to improve safety after early x ray systems exposed operators to unshielded radiation. Lead lined housings became standard by the 1920s.
