Zusammenfassung:A thermal management system and method for cooling a CT detector assembly of a CT imaging system. The thermal management system uses a combination of air cooling for readout electronics of the CT detector assembly and liquid cooling for an X-ray sensor of the CT detector assembly. The mixed air and liquid cooling system and method may be coupled together in the thermal management system and method to create a colder temperature in the CT detector assembly. The CT detector assembly components may include a CT detector module, which may include an X-ray sensor, readout electronics, and other components. 一种用于冷却CT成像系统的CT检测器组件的热管理系统和方法。该热管理系统使用用于该CT检测器组件的读出电子器件的空气冷却和用于该CT检测器组件的X射线传感器的液体冷却的组合。该混合空气和液体冷却系统和方法可以在该热管理系统和方法中耦接在一起,以在该CT检测器组件中产生更冷的温度。该CT检测器组件部件可以包括CT检测器模块,其可以包括X射线传感器、读出电子器件和其他部件。
