Multi X-ray generator and multi X-ray imaging apparatus

A multi-X-ray generator comprising:

• a container whose interior space is evacuated;
• a plurality of electron emission elements arranged within said container;
• a target which is placed opposite said plurality of electron emission elements;
• a backward X-ray shielding unit placed on a side of the target, which faces said plurality of electron emission elements;
• and
• a forward X-ray shielding unit having a single plate and placed on the other side of said target, which is at an opposite side of said plurality of electron emission elements,
• wherein said target comprises a plurality of X-ray generating regions provided in correspondence with said plurality of electron emission elements, and each of said plurality of X-ray generating regions generates an X-ray beam to be output by irradiating an electron beam emitted from a corresponding one of said plurality of electron emission elements,
• wherein said backward X-ray shielding unit has a plurality of electron incident holes provided in correspondence with the plurality of X-ray generating regions, which allows the electron beam to get through,
• wherein said forward X-ray shielding unit has a plurality of apertures in correspondence with the plurality of X-ray generating regions, through which the X-ray beams are output, and
• wherein said plurality of apertures are each arranged on said single plate of said forward X-ray shielding unit.
