A cooling system of a computed tomography (CT) system provides for a more efficient operation than known heretofore. The cooling system of the CT system includes a gantry and a table that moves an object into a bore of the gantry. The gantry includes part boxes mounted therein, and blade elements are formed in regions of the part boxes. The cooling system of the CT system includes a cooling method that includes a multiple cooling method including a stand-by mode and an operating mode.

Computed tomography system having cooling system

A gantry of a computed tomography (CT) apparatus includes a rotating frame configured to rotate around a rotation axis and a rotation driver configured to rotate the rotating frame. The gantry also includes a stator configured to support the rotating frame while the rotating frame rotates and electronic components arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotating frame. The rotating frame includes a plurality of annular frames positioned concentrically around the rotation axis and a plurality of rib frames arranged on circumferential surfaces of the plurality of annular frames and parallel to the rotation axis in such a manner as to connect the plurality of annular frames. At least one of the plurality of annular frames and the plurality of rib frames has a recessed portion along a longitudinal direction thereof.

Gantry of computed tomography (CT) apparatus

A computed tomography (CT) system having a cooling system includes: a gantry unit, including a rotor and an assembly component; an intake provided on a first surface of the rotor; and an outtake provided on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the rotor; wherein the gantry unit is cooled by air moving through the intake and the outtake due to a rotation force or a centrifugal force generated by a rotation movement of the rotor.

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.
