Abstract
A fluid coolant system for a gantry of a medical imaging apparatus cools scalable detector electronic assemblies (DEAs) within the gantry. Each DEA includes therein a first chill plate for cooling detector elements and a second chill plate for cooling electronic components and power supplies. Coolant flow cascades sequentially through the first chill plate and then through the second chill plate. Plural DEAs in an interconnected chain cascade coolant in sequence through all their first chill plates, before cascading the coolant through all their second chill plates. A matrix of the scalable DEAs are circumferentially and axially oriented within the imaging system's gantry, for any axial length scanning field of the imaging apparatus.
