If excessive heat is produced in the x-ray tube, the temperature will rise above critical values, and the tube can be damaged. Although the joule is the basic unit for energy and heat, it is not always used to express x-ray tube heat. However, anodes in some high powered equipment, such as that used in CT, are cooled by the circulation of oil through the anode to a heat exchanger (radiator).

An X-ray tube is a vacuum tube that converts electrical input power into X-rays. The availability of this controllable source of X-rays created the At this point, the tube assembly (also called the "tube head") is removed from the X-ray system, and replaced with a new tube assembly. The old tube assembly is C: filament/cathode (-); A: anode (+); Win and Wout: water inlet and outlet of the cooling device.
