An optimal design of X-ray target for uniform X-ray emission from an electronic brachytherapy system

► A novel X-ray target design is proposed. ► The target consists of a truncated conical reflection-type target and a transmission-type hemispherical cap. ► This combinatorial target assembly can produce X-rays with a good spatial uniformity over the entire solid angles. We present a novel design of...
