Problems solved by technology

A more commonly used cooling method is to directly pump out the air in the scanning room to take away the heat inside the machine, but this method cannot maintain the stability of the temperature in the scanning room, and it is difficult to ensure that the system runs at the best working temperature. It is easy to bring dust and impurities in the environment into the detector, affecting the imaging effect and system life

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a cooling system for medical imaging devices. Background technique [0002] Existing medical imaging technologies include Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography, SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (Position Emission Tomography, PET) and other technologies. Medical imaging systems such as SPECT and PET include a channel for accommodating patients, and detectors surrounding the human body are arranged in the channel, so that multi-angle imaging pictures of human lesion tissues can be obtained, and more accurate lesion information can be obtained. [0003] The principle of positron emission tomography technology is: a positron emitted during the decay of positronium combines with free electrons in human tissue and annihilates, and transforms into two gamma photons with opposite directions and energy of 511KeV each. When ...
