Design of a heating pad for a microPET/CT scanner
Project Overview
During anesthesia metabolism slows down, which can lead to hypothermia and eventual death. For prolonged microPET or microCT scans, where animals are kept for an extended period of time under anesthesia, it is important to keep the animals at steady temperature. Currently heating lights are used to provide that; however they lead to non-uniform and poorly controlled temperature regulation. Therefore, we proposed to design a heating device, that could be used to provide controllable, and steady temperature during prolonged scans. Because of the imaging requirements, the heating device cannot contain metal parts
