Bearing temperature and focal spot position controlled anode for a CT system
An anode assembly includes a thermally conductive bearing encasement covering a portion of a bearing. An anode rotates on the bearing and has a target with an associated focal spot. The thermally conductive bearing encasement is configured and expansion limited to prevent displacement of the focal s...

| Zusammenfassung: | An anode assembly includes a thermally conductive bearing encasement covering a portion of a bearing. An anode rotates on the bearing and has a target with an associated focal spot. The thermally conductive bearing encasement is configured and expansion limited to prevent displacement of the focal spot of greater than a predetermined displacement during operation of the anode. |
