Abstract:
1. An anode disk element for an X-ray generating device, comprising: a composite material having a plurality of individual fiber layers spaced apart from each other by matrix material such that fibers of a first layer of the plurality of individual fiber layers do not contact fibers of a second layer of the plurality of individual fiber layers formed over the first layer; a focal track located at a portion of the anode disk element; and heat dissipating elements comprising a metal and connecting the first layer to the second layer throughout the composite material including at position under the focal track and further positions not under the focal track, wherein the anode disk element is rotatable about a rotational axis, wherein the focal track is rotationally symmetrical to the rotational axis, wherein the anode disk element comprises an anisotropic thermal conductivity, and wherein the heat dissipating elements are configured to dissipate heat from the focal track in the direction of reduced thermal conductivity of the anode disk element.
