Se desiderato, l'acqua può essere fatta circolare attraverso il tubo mediante il sifone RADIOGRAFICO 3 34 sopra menzionato. Questo è molto efficace, ma necessario solo quando si stanno facendo lunghe corse. C'è un altro tipo di tubo fatto da diversi produttori che è veryefficient e conveniente per il trattamento. Questo tubo ha un diametro di circa 5 pollici (125 mm.). Come si vedrà dalla Fig. 215, pag. 295, un bulbo ausiliario (avente un diametro di circa QH

. Radiography, X-ray therapeutics and radium therapy . ording to the position of theX-ray tube, so as to permit of the aperture being always uppermost. If desired, the water can be circulated through the tube by means of the 3 34 RADIOGRAPHY syphon mentioned above. This is very efficacious, but necessary only whenvery lengthy runs are being undertaken. There is another type of tube made by several makers which is veryefficient and convenient for treatment. This tube has a diameter of about5 inches (125 mm.). As will be seen from Fig. 215, p. 295, an auxiliary bulb(having a diameter of about Qh inches) is connected to the tube, thusforming a reserve air-chamber. This construction results in the tubepossessing all the advantages inseparable from one having a large cubiccapacity ; while the fact of the anti-cathode being only 2| inches fromthe wall of the tube enables the original Sabouraud distance to be adopted.

By means of the smallelectric motor operating the force-pump, air at the temperature of the roomis used at considerable pressure. The special modifications of the tuberequired are as follows : In place of the ordinary cathode there is employeda very massive hollow armature, with the same diameter as the anti-cathode ;into both cathode and anti-cathode are fitted inlet tubes, which bring thecold air into direct contact with the whole inner surface of the armature, and the heated air is expelled through a number of peripheral apertures.The connection between the X-ray tube and the air pump is made by meansof strong india-rubber tubes. The cathode is cooled as efficiently as theanti-cathode, this being a very important point. In a tube of this type, cu
