Abstract
An X-ray generating device includes an electron beam generator configured to generate an electron beam; a target configured to generate X-rays in response to the electron beam incident on the target; an eccentric rotator configured to be eccentrically rotated to rotate the target while changing a position of the target; and a driver configured to rotationally drive the eccentric rotator.
