Abstract

One approach to the design, experimentation, parameter setting, and assembly of an X-ray generator get performed to reduce radiation emission (microgray \(\mu Gy\)) without neglecting the power of the beam emission (KVp). A combination gets made in the manufacture of the transformer coil between turns of the secondary winding \(S_{k}\), with the number of turns of the filament \(F_{i}\). As a result, we obtained a transformer with an emissivity between the desired parameters and the optimum beam power. We classify feasible and infeasible cases in the assembly of X-ray devices using support vector machines. In addition, the tools used for statistical inference were non-parametric tests, such as the modified Friedman test and post-hoc Quade and Conover tests. Finally, we obtained a good image with an excellent resolution without exposing people to high radiation emissions.
