Abstract
The continuous X-ray spectral profiles have been successfully produced using the excited dental X-ray tube, where used dental X-ray tube was employed in the experimental setup. The effect of parameters on the continuous spectrum is investigated, whereas the major parameters are the anode current and adjustable voltage. It was found that the optimum conditions for the threshold voltage were three times higher than the highest energy absorption edge with tungsten anode target on the spectral distribution of radiation energy, which was increased, and the short wavelengths limitation obtained are 1.03, 0.73, 0.59, 0.48 and 0.46 . The relative sensitivity is increased from 12 to 25 kV, and it is decreased at 26 and 27 kV. The intensity near the short wavelength is increased by the double voltage value. © 2009 Elsevier GmbH.
