PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method to predict a failure of an imaging system that includes a radiation source having an X-ray tube assembly. SOLUTION: The system 100 includes a storage medium 155 having a plurality of programmable storage instructions to instruct a processor 150 to perform the steps of acquiring an age of the X-ray tube assembly 115, calculating a baseline probability of a survivability of the tube assembly 115 for a remaining time period dependent on the age of the tube assembly 115, acquiring measurement of at least one operating parameter of the X-ray tube assembly 115, and automatically changing the baseline probability of a survivability of the imaging system 105 for the remaining time period in response to the measurement of the at least one operating parameter of the X-ray tube assembly 115.
