A x-ray tube mounting assembly, including a mounting bracket, a first x-ray tube support configured for supporting a first x-ray tube, a second x-ray tube support configured for supporting a second x-ray tube, and a control assembly for moving the first and second x-ray tube supports substantially simultaneously between a first position, wherein the first x-ray tube support is in an operating position and the second x-ray tube support is in a first stowed position not for operation of a second x-ray tube operably supported thereby, and a second position, wherein the second x-ray tube support is in the operating position and the first x-ray tube support is in a second stowed position not for operation of a first x-ray tube operably supported thereby. The first x-ray tube may be of different focus source magnitude than the second x-ray tube.
