A diagnostic fluoroscopy X-ray system uses a 32kW or greater X-ray generator for obtaining real-time moving images and high-resolution images. Fluoroscopy X-ray systems have to use a high-capacity AC power source to perform long-time low-power fluoroscopy and short-time high-power spot exposure. In this paper, we propose a hybrid type X-ray generator for fluoroscopy X-ray system which can perform fluoroscopy and spot exposure with a low-capacity AC power source and an energy storage device. The characteristics of energy storage devices are compared and each energy storage device is modelled to equivalent circuit. And the characteristics of available energy are analyzed as a function of output voltage and power. A 32kW class hybrid X-ray generator with EDLC as an energy storage device for fluoroscopy X-ray system was constructed, and its validity was verified by means of simulations and experiments.

Diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator needs high voltage input power when operated, if electric power conditions are not suitable, could not use diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator or could not use normally by abnormal working. If diagnostic X-ray system operated with abnormally by electric power conditions, it cause of difficulty of patient diagnosis. And we used auxiliary power with battery to operate diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator without using normal electric power. We made one device after designing of new electric circuit and we compared normal power X-ray system with battery powered X-ray system by described method in this thesis. And then we found characteristic and efficiency of diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator by different input power condition.

Most X-ray generator had been used do rectifier type transformer high tension generator which is supplied in a clinical diagnosis. But it is difficult to miniaturize and become light weight. Also, because the ripple rate of tube voltage is high, X-ray generating efficiency is very low. Therefore, it is supplied gradually from abroad being developed high tension generator for inverter type X-ray generator which use semi-conductor switching element for electric power that have high speed switching ability to solved these problem. But, semi-conductor element of big capacity are used by X-ray tube's big consumption power and diffusion is difficult in the small size hospital because production cost is ascending by doing digital control through DSP and product price becomes expensive. Therefore, in this paper, design and manufactured CR type voltage divider for feedback control of tube voltage of high frequency resonance type inverter and high tension transformer for high frequency to apply economical diffusion type X-ray generator which have wide output voltage and load extent. It is Proved do X-ray generator and stability of X-ray tube's output characteristics through an experiment.

Most of X-ray generator had used rectifier type transformer with high tension generator which is supplied in a clinical diagnosis. Because the ripple rate of tube voltage is high, X-ray generating efficiency is very low. In these days, high tension generator for inverter type X-ray generator is being supplied from a broad which uses semi-conductor switching element for the electric power that have a high speed switching ability to solve these problem. But, semi-conductor element with large capacity is used with X-ray tube's large consumption power and diffusion is difficult in the small size hospital because production cost is going up by doing digital control through DSP. Therefore, this paper designed and manufactured CR type voltage divider for feedback control of tube voltage with high frequency resonance type inverter and for high tension transformer with high frequency. It was to make economical diffusion type X-ray generator which has wide output voltage and load extent. It was preyed that the X-ray generator had the stability of X-ray tube's output characteristics.

Medical X-ray has been brought many changes according to the rapid development of high technology. Especially, for high-voltage generator which is the most important in X-ray generation the traditional way is to use high-voltage electric transformers primarily. However, since it is large and heavy and the ripple rate of DC high-voltage applied to X-ray tube is too big, it has a disadvantage of low X-ray production efficiency. To solve these problems, the studies about high-voltage power supply are now proceeding. At present, the high-voltage generator that generates high-voltage by making high frequency using inverter control circuit consisting of semiconductor device is mainly used. High-voltage generator using inverter has advantages in the diagnosis using X-ray including high performance with short-term use, miniaturization of power supply and ripple reduction. In this study, the X-ray high-voltage device with inverter type using pulse width modulation scheme to the control of tube voltage and tube current was designed and produced. For performance evaluation of produced device, the control signal analysis, irradiation dose change and beam quality depending on the load variation of tube voltage and tube current were evaluated.

This paper deals with the output characteristics of resonant PWM inverter type X-ray generators connected to different DC power units i.e. a single phase full bridge rectifier, a three phase full bridge rectifier and a power storage unit(PSU). The quality of X-ray beam depend on the pulsation waveforms of DC voltage supplied to the X-ray tulbe. In a X-ray generator, the waveforme of DC output voltage can be affected from hramonic distortion of DC input power. When a tube voltage waveform is distorded, the property of X-ray beam such as reproducibility, direcibility and doesage can be reduced. Therefore, we compared DC output waveforms and doesages with three thpe of DC power units and show the experimental results in this paper
