Abstract
A medical X-ray tube system for dental diagnosis and oral cancer therapy based on nano-material is disclosed. The medical X-ray tube system may include a body and an X-ray emission module emitting X-rays using a cathode having a chipped nano-structured material. The X-ray emission module may be separable from the body. The medical X-ray tube system may be formed as a pen that can be inserted in the oral cavity for displaying an accurate image of an inner location of the oral cavity needing a diagnosis. For treatment of oral cancer requiring an appropriate amount of radiation therapy, brachytherapy may be conducted without concern of exposure of normal tissues to radiation because radiation can be directly irradiated to a diseased part. The X-ray emission module may use a chipped nano-structured material, for example, a carbon nanotube.
