Notes:
The adequate choice of different target materials for X-ray generators is a very importantsubject of engineers’ practice and research. In the present work we analyze theoretically thetransport of electrons through the anode material and the production of the correspondingbremsstrahlung radiation. In our analysis we simulate the particle transport with the help of theFOTELP code, which is based on the Monte Carlo simulation. Our main aim is to develop anefficient and handy method, which could be helpful in improving the design of the X-ray tubecomponents and in reducing of the patient dose, while keeping the image quality. The obtainedresults are encouraging
