Abstract
An x-ray tube has a rotating anode and a high-voltage plug for attachment at a high-voltage terminal at a vacuum housing of the x-ray tube. The high-voltage plug contains a cooling channel for coolant which opens up into a channel provided in the shaft of the rotating anode. The cooling channel extends through the high-voltage plug substantially in the direction of the center axis (axis of rotation) of the rotating anode.
