Design and development of X-ray tube model for CT imaging equipment based on 3D printing technology
CT imaging equipment plays a crucial role in medical diagnosis and treatment,and one of its key components is the X-ray tube.Traditional learning about the structure and principles of X-ray tubes lacks interactive teaching content,and cannot provide students with practical opportunities to operate,making it difficult to deepen their understanding of the principles of X-ray imaging.In response to this issue,this study referred to the original X-ray tube of Siemens Plus 4 single row CT for component division and physical size measurement.Solid modeling was performed using the 3D modeling software SolidWorks,and printed using two 3D printers in the laboratory.This model reproduces the appearance and structure of a real CT tube,and has the characteristics of light weight,easy disassembly,and high durability.
