Summary:Modular X-ray tube ( 10 ) and method for the production of such an X-ray tube, in which an anode ( 20 ) and a cathode ( 30 ) are arranged in a vacuumized inner space ( 40 ) situated opposite each other, electrons (e-) being produced at the cathode ( 30 ) and X-rays (y) at the anode ( 20 ). The X-ray tube ( 10 ) according to the invention comprises a multiplicity of acceleration modules ( 41, . . . , 45 ), complementing one another, and each acceleration module ( 41, . . . , 45 ) comprises at least one potential-carrying acceleration electrode ( 20/30/423/433/443 ). A first acceleration module ( 41 ) thereby comprises the cathode ( 30 ), a second acceleration module ( 45 ) the anode ( 20 ). The X-ray tube ( 10 ) further comprises at least one other acceleration module ( 42, . . . , 44 ). In particular, the X-ray tube according to the invention can possess a re-closeable vacuum valve, enabling individual defective parts of the tube ( 10 ) to be replaced in a simple manner or enabling the tube ( 10 ) to be modified in a modular way.
