RadiologyIn an X-ray tube, the filament (cathode) is heated to produce electrons through a process called thermionic emission. This heating is accomplished by a step-down low voltage transformer, which reduces the high voltage from the power supply to a lower voltage suitable for heating the filament. The step-down transformer ensures that the filament receives the correct amount of current to achieve the necessary temperature for electron production.
