Disclosed is a device for medical imaging, such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging. The device includes a printed circuit board and an enclosure configured to disperse heat generated by the printed circuit board. The enclosure comprises a first heat spreader coupled to and in thermal contact with the printed circuit board, a second heat spreader in thermal contact with the first heat spreader at an interface such that the heat is distributed between the first heat spreader and the second heat spreader across the interface, a first cover portion coupled to and in thermal contact with the first heat spreader; and a second cover portion coupled to and in thermal contact with the second heat spreader, wherein the first cover portion is coupled to the second cover portion to form the enclosure.

Heat-dissipating arrangements for medical devices and associated devices, systems, and methods

A medical X-ray imaging arrangement includes an X-ray image acquisition device, a movable carriage, and an air-supply for an operating zone. The carriage is movably mountable to a ceiling of an operating room. The X-ray image acquisition device has an Xray source, and the X-ray image acquisition device is movably mounted to the movable carriage for acquiring image information of an object. Further, the air-supply includes a plurality of air outlets provided on a bottom side of the carriage arranged to provide treated air from an air-feed as a primary laminar downflow defining a carriage laminar flow zone for the operating zone.
