Integral X-ray source housing

A unitary enclosure for the X-ray source may be at least partially wrapped around the power source and the X-ray tube. The unitary enclosure may include aluminum, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel, silicon, strontium, zinc, or a combination thereof. Magnesium may be the major component of the unitary housing. The integral housing may be formed by injection molding. The integral housing can provide one or more of the following advantages: (a) light weight (ease of transportation), (b) high electrical conductivity (protection of a user from electric shock), (c) high thermal conductivity (removal of heat generated during use), (d) corrosion resistance, (e) high strength, and (f) high electromagnetic interference shielding (shielding the power supply assembly from external electromagnetic noise interference, etc. Other electronic components are shielded from power supply electromagnetic noise interference, or both.). 用于X射线源的整体式外壳可以至少部分地包裹在电源和X射线管周围。整体式外壳可以包括铝、钙、铜、铁、镁、锰、镍、硅、锶、锌或其组合。镁可以是整体式外壳的主要成分
