Zusammenfassung:	An inverter for a computed tomography (CT) system is provided. The inverter includes a hybrid switch. The hybrid switch includes a silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (SiC MOSFET) portion, an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) portion, a first gate associated within the SiC MOSFET portion, and a second gate associated with the IGBT portion. The SiC MOSFET portion and the IGBT portion of the hybrid switch are configured to be independently controlled via the first gate and the second gate.
