Abstract :This paper presents an interactive X-ray Tube Simulator designed for students in biomedical engineering and biomedical device technology. Developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and integrating the Chart.js library for dynamic graphical representations, this simulator offers dynamic visualizations and real-time graphical analysis to understand X-ray tube operation comprehensively. The simulator allows users to select tube voltage (kV), filament current (mA), exposure time (ms), anode angle (°), anode rotation speed (RPM), anode material (Tungsten, Molybdenum, Rhodium), cathode thickness (mm), filter thickness (mm), filter material (Aluminum, Copper, Molybdenum), collimator aperture (mm), chamber distance (cm), glass type (Lead, Borosilicate) and cooling type (Oil, Water), Air) and instantly observe their effects on X-ray spectra, radiation dose, heat accumulation and energy efficiency. This tool aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, promoting a deeper understanding of X-ray physics and safety considerations in a safe and cost-effective environment.
