Embodiment Construction

[0016] The medical imaging system according to this embodiment includes an imaging device, a patient support plate, and a heating subsystem. The imaging device acquires measurement data of the patient. In addition, the imaging device has at least one electrical component that generates and emits heat. The patient support supports a patient to be scanned by the imaging device. Additionally, the heating subsystem utilizes heat generated by at least one electrical component of the imaging device to heat the patient support plate.

[0017] figure 1 A PET imaging system 100 cooled using an existing air cooling system is shown. Such as figure 1 As shown, the PET imaging system includes an assembly 110 equipped with a PET scanner 116 and an optional scanner (eg, a CT scanner or an MR scanner). The PET imaging system 100 further includes a patient support 130 attached to a base 132 . The patient support plate 130 supports a patient to be scanned by the PET imaging system 100 . ...
