Abstract
The disclosure relates to a cooling apparatus with a control unit for a detector unit included in a magnetic resonance device. The control unit comprises at least two electronic components that generate waste heat during operation of the magnetic resonance device. The control unit is to be arranged on a surface of the detector unit, and comprises an active cooling unit comprising at least one piezoelectric fan, which is embodied to generate an airflow on a surface of the control unit and/or on a surface of at least one electronic component of the at least two electronic components.
