Claim 14:
15. A method for providing a laminar airflow for an operating room, the method comprising:
providing a first plenum of laminar airflow and a second plenum of laminar airflow; wherein, in a plane of generation, the first plenum and the second plenum are separated from each other by a laminar-flow-free region;
movably attaching a cover component to a support rail of a ceiling mounted support arrangement of a medical imaging system, wherein the cover component comprises a base element and an air guiding surface element connected to the base element;
guiding a border portion of the first plenum of laminar airflow along a first surface part of an air guiding surface of the air guiding surface element, and guiding a border portion of the second plenum of laminar airflow along a second surface part of the air guiding surface, wherein the first surface part and the second surface part are extending from starting edges positioned close to the first plenum of laminar airflow and the second plenum of laminar airflow, respectively, to a common trailing edge, wherein the first surface part and the second surface part and the trailing edge forms an air guide covering a portion of the laminar-flow-free region.
