An imaging x-ray tube was the first medical imaging technology was made possible, when x-ray was discovered. Conventional x-ray tube is limited by several ways. A new x-ray tube design made up of carbon nanotube (CNT)s may be the most significant advance in the x-ray technology, and could lead to portable and miniature x-ray source for both medical and industrial applications. It can be used to obtain x-ray radiation with programmable wave form with an instantaneous response time
