Apparatus and method for monitoring the temperature of an x-ray source of a medical imaging device and the medical imaging system with temperature monitoring of an x-ray source

摘要

The present invention describes a device (10) for monitoring the temperature of an x-ray source (104) of a medical imaging device (102). The apparatus (10) comprises an electronic temperature sensor (12) and a the temperature control unit (14). The electronic temperature sensor (12) is designed for at least the temperature (30) of the x-ray source (104) in an electrical temperature signal (32). The the temperature control unit (14) is designed for a temperature status signal (42) to determine, into which temperature status signal (42) at least, whether the electrical temperature signal (32) between a predeterminable and a lower temperature limit assignable, lower temperature limit voltage (34) and a predeterminable and an upper limit temperature assignable, upper temperature limit voltage (36) is. The present invention also describes a corresponding method (1) for monitoring the temperature of an x-ray source (104) of a medical imaging device (102) and a medical imaging system (100) with temperature monitoring of an x-ray source (104).
