The picture giving systems in the medicine are dominated as ever by the X-ray technology - not only in the general X-ray diagnostic, the mammography, the angio- and cardiography but also in the computer tomography.

Electromagnetic blasting is created by the slow down of fast electrons on the anode. 1% of the affected energy is transformed into X-ray blasting and 99% into heat. Because of that fact the components within the X-ray tube are submitted by highest thermal resistance. The applied material should possess a highest possible melting point, a big heat capacity, a good heat conductivity and a smallest possible vapour pressure.

Today PLANSEE produces components, made of high performance materials (molybdenum, TZM, tungsten, WRe alloys ), for the assembly of X-ray tubes as well as X-ray technology, which are used worldwide for picture giving systems.
