Thermoelectrically controlled X-ray detector array statement regarding federally sponsored research

摘要: Disclosed is an X-ray detector assembly for use in a computed tomography system. The comprises array of cells coupled between two rails. A thermoelectric cooler to end each the rails, and controlled alternatively heat or cool maintain substantially isothermal thermally stable condition. preferably includes both passive active cooling devices insulation materials controlling temperature assembly. An electrical heater at center can be used conjunction with TEC's control profile array, minimize changes gradients.
