Abstract
An X-ray generating system includes a first high-voltage source generating a first high voltage; a second high=voltage source generating a second high voltage different from the first high voltage; and an X-ray generator. The X-ray generator includes a first assembly having a first cathode and a first anode for emitting a first X-ray beam from a first focal point on the first anode upon application of the first high voltage to the first assembly. The X-ray generator further includes a second assembly having a second cathode and a second anode for emitting a second X-ray beam from a second focal point on the second anode upon application of the second high voltage to the second assembly. The two X-ray beams exit the X-ray generator parallel to one another.

An X-ray generating system comprising
- (a) a first high-voltage source generating a first high voltage;
- (b) a second high-voltage source generating a second high voltage different from said first high voltage;
- and
- (c) an X-ray generator including
- (1) a first assembly having
- (i) a first cathode;
- and
- (ii) a first anode emitting a first X-ray beam from a first focal point of said first anode upon application of said first high voltage to said first assembly;
- (2) a second assembly having
- (i) a second cathode;
- and
- (ii) a second anode emitting a second X-ray beam from a second focal point of said second anode parallel to said first X-ray beam upon application of said second high voltage to said second assembly;
- and
- (3) an anode head carrying said first and second anodes and disposed between said first and second cathodes.
