摘要： An x-ray source assembly includes an anode stack including a source spot upon which electrons impinge with power being supplied to the assembly, and a control system to facilitate maintaining intensity of output x-rays from the x-ray source assembly during operation. The control system is configured to actively control temperature of the anode stack relative to a setpoint or defined setpoint range. The control system heats the anode stack in a heating mode, when an anode stack temperature is below the setpoint or defined setpoint range, and switches to a cooling mode to cool the anode stack when the anode stack temperature rises above the setpoint or defined setpoint range.
