As an important metal material, copper has a wide range of important applications in the medical industry, and its unique properties provide strong support for the development of the medical field.
As an important medical imaging technology, computed tomography (CT) plays an extremely important role in disease diagnosis, disease monitoring and medical research. Copper, a common metal, has a wide range of critical applications in CT technology, and its unique physical and chemical properties provide strong support for the continuous development and improvement of CT technology.
In CT technology, the generation of X-rays is a critical first step. The generation of X-rays is mainly dependent on the process of ducenoradian (bremsstrahlung). As they travel through the target material, the high-speed electrons are slowed down by the action of the Coulomb potential field of the nucleus, causing their kinetic energy to be converted into electromagnetic radiation, i.e., X-rays. Copper, as an excellent X-ray target, plays an important role in this process. Copper's atomic structure and electron level distribution determine its ability to efficiently produce X-rays under high-speed electron impacts. When high-velocity electrons hit a copper atom, the inner electrons may be knocked out, forming holes, and when the outer electrons fill the holes, the energy released is radiated in the form of characteristic X-rays, such as kα and kβ lines, which provide the basis for CT imaging.
