Abstract
An X-ray tube includes a cathode, which is configured to generate an electron beam, and a round anode, which is configured to rotate such that the electron beam impinges on a rotating surface of the anode so as to emit at least one X-ray beam. An array of gas pipes is configured to direct gas onto the surface so as to cool the anode.
