1. A method of monitoring depletion of a coolant in a cooling system associated with at least one imaging modality, the method comprising:
receiving, by at least one processing unit, a set of signal values from a sensing unit associated with the cooling system, wherein the set of signal values correspond to one or more parameters of the cooling system;
determining, by the at least one processing unit, a class associated with the set of signal values using a trained artificial intelligence model;
selecting, by the at least one processing unit, a prediction model capable of predicting a depletion rate of the coolant in the cooling system from a plurality of predetermined prediction models based on the class associated with the set of signal values;
computing, by the at least one processing unit, the depletion rate of the coolant in the cooling system based on the set of signal values using the selected prediction model;
determining, by the at least one processing unit, a number of days remaining to refill the coolant in the cooling system based on the depletion rate of the coolant in the cooling system;
generating, by the at least one processing unit, a warning signal on a graphical user interface, the warning signal indicative of the number of days remaining to refill the coolant in the cooling system; and
filling a calculated amount of the coolant in the cooling system following the generating of the warning signal and prior to a point in time when a current level of the coolant in the cooling system reaches a minimum threshold value.
