Siemens Straton
The Siemens THA Straton X-ray tube, P/N 7115301, is a well-established CT tube used across several Siemens platforms.
System compatibility:
- Somatom Sensation 10 / 16 (most commonly cited)
- Somatom Definition and Somatom Definition Edge dual-source scanners
- Somatom Sensation 40, 64, Cardiac 64 systems
Since this tube spans two very different scanner generations (Sensation vs. Definition/Definition Edge), worth confirming your exact system before ordering — though the OEM part number is the same across both.

Notable design fact: The Straton is a significant technology jump from the earlier Dura-series tubes you’ve been looking at — it’s Siemens’ rotating envelope tube design (the entire vacuum envelope rotates rather than just the anode), which allows much higher heat dissipation without a traditional bearing/rotor assembly. This made it foundational to Siemens’ dual-source CT platform (Definition/Definition Edge) as well as high-end single-source Sensation scanners.
