Abstract:
1. An X-ray imaging system comprising: an X-ray tube configured to generate an X-ray emission, the X-ray tube including an anode, a cathode and a filament; an X-ray generator coupled with the X-ray tube and including a high voltage module and a low voltage module, the high voltage module being configured to supply a dosing voltage across the X-ray tube and the low voltage module being configured to supply a dosing current to the filament; a precharging module coupled with the X-ray generator and configured to supply a precharge voltage; and a triaxial cable electrically connecting the X-ray generator to the X-ray tube, the triaxial cable including a center conductor, an inner shield conductor surrounding the center conductor and an outer shield conductor surrounding the center conductor and the inner shield conductor, wherein the outer shield conductor carries a ground voltage, the inner shield conductor carries the precharge voltage and the center conductor carries the dosing voltage, and wherein
