Abstract
An x-ray tube (20) includes an evacuated envelope (26). Mounted within the evacuated envelope are a cathode (23) and a rotatbly supported anode (30). A rotor (70) is included for rotatably driving the anode. The rotor (70) is electrically insulated from the anode (30) by a disk (76) comprised of an insulating material.
