378199000 | Source cooling | 10 |
20080260105 | STATIONARY CATHODE IN ROTATING FRAME X-RAY TUBE - An x-ray tube includes a stationary base and a passage therein. The x-ray tube includes an anode frame having an anode positioned adjacent to a first end and having a neck at a second end, the neck extends into the passage, wherein the anode frame is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the passage. A hermetic seal is positioned about the neck between the neck and the stationary base. | 10-23-2008 |
20090080620 | RADIATION IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS - A radiation image capturing apparatus includes a cooling mechanism for causing cooling medium to flow from a rear surface side to a radiation detector to a front surface side of radiation detector through a narrow space formed between an end of the radiation detector and a casing for housing the radiation detector. It is therefore possible to cool the narrow space, as well as regions in the vicinity of the narrow space, with the cooling medium and to discharge the cooling medium from the front surface side of the radiation detector. | 03-26-2009 |
20090232281 | X-RAY CT APPARATUS - According to the invention, an X-ray CT apparatus includes: an annular rotator including: an X-ray tube; an X-ray detector disposed oppositely to the X-ray tube; a radiator disposed in the vicinity of the X-ray tube and dissipating heat from the X-ray tube; an air outlet provided in the vicinity of the radiator; and an air inlet provided at a position oppositely to the air outlet, a gantry cover covering peripheral of the annular rotator and having an upper air vent and a plurality of lower air vents; a plurality of fans discharging to the outside air exist in a gap between the gantry cover and the annular rotator from the air outlet; and a baffle plate provided in the gap in the vicinity of the lower air vents and controlling an air flow passing through internal space of the annular rotator and an airflow passing through the gap. | 09-17-2009 |
20100027762 | MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC X-RAY APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH A COOLING DEVICE - The invention relates to a medical diagnostic X-ray apparatus ( | 02-04-2010 |
20150092927 | METHOD AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING MAGNETIC RESONANCE DATA - A medical imaging apparatus has a gantry having a stationary gantry housing and a rotor that is rotatable relative to the stationary gantry housing. At least one component to be cooled is arranged at the rotor, and a cooling device produces a cooling of the component. The cooling device has a carrier medium that is ferromagnetic and designed to absorb heat at the rotor and discharge heat to the stationary gantry housing and is transported from the stationary gantry housing to the rotor and back by at least one magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generator. | 04-02-2015 |
20150320376 | X-RAY CT APPARATUS - An X-ray CT apparatus according to an embodiment includes a gantry, an air inlet, and an air outlet. The gantry supports an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector. The air inlet is provided in the gantry to draw air into the gantry from outside the gantry. The air outlet is provided in a lower section of the gantry to discharge air from the gantry through a path that houses a controller that controls the gantry. | 11-12-2015 |

20100111265 | X-RAY TUBE WITH AN ANODE ISOLATION ELEMENT FOR LIQUID COOLING AND A RECEPTACLE FOR A HIGH-VOLTAGE PLUG - The present invention relates to a high-voltage x-ray tube (R) with an inner vacuum chamber ( | 05-06-2010 |
20100310053 | X-RAY IRRADIATOR - Provided is an X-ray irradiator which reduces the occurrence of discharge resulting from the difference in electric potential in the X-ray irradiator, and which concurrently achieves reduction in size and weight. In an X-ray irradiator ( | 12-09-2010 |
20110228910 | DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING APPARATUS WITH AIRFLOW COOLING SYSTEM - A diagnostic imaging system, which can be a mobile or stationary surgical CT imaging system or an MRI system, comprises an internal airflow cooling system that includes an air intake opening and an air outtake opening that are positioned near the ground and direct air flow away from the sterile surgical field. | 09-22-2011 |
20150139406 | X-RAY HOUSING HAVING INTEGRATED OIL-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER - An x-ray housing can include a tubular unitary body having an external fin array adjacent to an internal fin array through a heat exchanger portion of the unitary body, the internal fin array being on a luminal surface of a housing lumen of the unitary body. The external fin array can extend from a first end of the housing to a second end of the housing. The external fin array may be at a discrete and defined location, and extend around only a portion (e.g., 25%) of a circumference or external surface of the housing. The internal fin array can extends from the first end of the housing to an arced manifold recess at the second end of the housing, and be located in a finned recess that is adjacent to and dimensioned correspondingly with the external fin array. | 05-21-2015 |
