Abstract:
An x-ray tube is disclosed herein. The x-ray tube includes an anode assembly adapted to rotate generally about a rotational axis. The anode assembly includes a first target surface at least partially disposed at a first angle greater than 70 degrees with respect to the rotational axis and a second target surface at least partially disposed at a second angle greater than 70 degrees with respect to the rotational axis. The first target surface is adapted to emit a first x-ray beam and the second target surface is adapted to emit a second x-ray beam. A CT system is also disclosed.
