Computed tomography system having cooling system

Abstract

Cooling systems of a CT system and methods of cooling the CT system are disclosed. The CT system includes a gantry and a table that moves an object into a bore of the gantry, wherein the gantry includes a cover having a front surface in which at least an inlet slot is formed and a rear surface in which exhaust holes are formed along with exhaust fans in the rear surface of the cover of the gantry. Fans for the in-take and exhaustion of air are not required to be formed on the front surface of the cover of the gantry. A hole through which external air is taken in through the inlet slot is moved in a rotor of the gantry.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
