An ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112) including a distal end and a proximal end, wherein distal refers to an end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112) that is closest to a subject or object to be imaged during use and proximal refers to an end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112) that is farther from the subject or object to be imaged during use, wherein the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112) comprising: a transducer assembly (30;230;730) at a distal end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112), the transducer assembly (30;230;730) comprising: a lens (36;236;736); a transducer stack coupled to the lens (36;236;736); and a backing subassembly (14;214;714) coupled to the proximal side of the transducer stack opposite the lens (36;236;736); a printed circuit assembly (PCA) (18;218;718) spaced from and coupled to the transducer assembly (30;230;730); a housing (22;222;722) enclosing the PCA (18;218;718) and at least a portion of the transducer assembly (30;230;730), wherein the housing (22;222;722) defines an opening (225;725) at the distal end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112) to expose at least a portion of the lens (36;236;736) through the opening (225;725); and a thermally conductive compliant component (16;216;716) disposed between the transducer assembly (30;230;730) and the PCA (18;218;718) and coupling the transducer assembly (30;230;730) to the PCA (18;218;718), wherein the thermally conductive compliant component (16;216;716) is configured to bias the transducer assembly (30;230;730) away from the PCA (18;218;718) towards the opening (225;725) in the housing (22;222;722) and to conduct heat away from the distal end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112). a transducer assembly (30;230;730) at a distal end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112), the transducer assembly (30;230;730) comprising: a lens (36;236;736); a transducer stack coupled to the lens (36;236;736); and a backing subassembly (14;214;714) coupled to the proximal side of the transducer stack opposite the lens (36;236;736); a lens (36;236;736); a transducer stack coupled to the lens (36;236;736); and a backing subassembly (14;214;714) coupled to the proximal side of the transducer stack opposite the lens (36;236;736); a printed circuit assembly (PCA) (18;218;718) spaced from and coupled to the transducer assembly (30;230;730); a housing (22;222;722) enclosing the PCA (18;218;718) and at least a portion of the transducer assembly (30;230;730), wherein the housing (22;222;722) defines an opening (225;725) at the distal end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112) to expose at least a portion of the lens (36;236;736) through the opening (225;725); and a thermally conductive compliant component (16;216;716) disposed between the transducer assembly (30;230;730) and the PCA (18;218;718) and coupling the transducer assembly (30;230;730) to the PCA (18;218;718), wherein the thermally conductive compliant component (16;216;716) is configured to bias the transducer assembly (30;230;730) away from the PCA (18;218;718) towards the opening (225;725) in the housing (22;222;722) and to conduct heat away from the distal end of the ultrasound probe (10;200;700;1112). <EOS>
