ABSTRACT:
A detector unit of a computer tomograph includes a base surface that faces a support ring of a gantry of the computer tomograph in a mounting position, and a detector surface that is angled away from the base surface in an approximately perpendicular fashion, faces an isocentric axis of the gantry in the mounting position, and along which there are fitted a number of detector elements for detecting x-radiation. The base surface has an air inlet fitted in such a way that a cooling airflow applied from outside to the base surface is guided onto the inner side of the detector surface. In the mounting position, the air inlet corresponds with an air channel guided in the support ring or between the rotary carriage and the support ring.
