Abstract:
1. A nuclear camera detector comprising: an enclosure defining a volume; a plurality of solid state detectors arranged in an array, the array within the enclosure volume; a first cold plate within the enclosure volume and in thermally conductive contact with the plurality of solid state detectors; a first Peltier cooler within the enclosure volume and in thermally conductive contact with the first cold plate, the first Peltier cooler for cooling the plurality of detectors in the array, a second cold plate within the enclosure volume and thermally insulated from first cold plate; a second Peltier cooler within the enclosure volume and in thermally conductive contact with the second cold plate, the second Peltier cooler for removing moisture from the enclosure volume; and a heat sink in thermally conductive contact with the first and second Peltier coolers.
