TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the construction and fundamental studies of a repetitive flash x-ray generator having a simple diode with an energy-selective function. But the generator was not designed for high-energy impulse switching.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental studies of a repetitive soft flash x-ray generator having a high-durability diode for high-speed radiography in biomedical and technological fields are described.

TL;DR: In this article, a long-duration flash X-ray generator was described, which consisted of the following components: a high-voltage power supply with a maximum voltage of 100 kV, an energy-storage condenser, a main discharge condenser of 10 nF, a turbo molecular pump, a thyratron pulser as a trigger device, and a surface-discharge triode.

TL;DR: The cerium target x-ray generator is useful in order to perform enhanced K-edge angiography using a cone beam because K-series characteristic x rays from the Cerium target are absorbed effectively by iodine-based contrast mediums.

TL;DR: In this paper, a soft flash x-ray (FX) apparatus with a new type of FX tube for biomedical use is described, which may be used for condenser charging voltages of 50-90 kV and peak currents of 20-40 kA. The electric pulse width of the FX waveforms was almost constant and its value was about 0.3 μs.
