Abstract:
An ultrasound imaging system includes a thermally conductive frame and a number of electronic components and a display that are sealed within the frame. The frame further includes a plenum extending through the frame with surfaces that are thermally coupled to the electronic components and the display. An active cooling mechanism, such as one or more fans, moves air through the plenum to remove heat generated by the electronic components and display. The plenum is environmentally sealed so that moisture, dust, air or other contaminants drawn into the plenum do not contact the sealed electronic components and display in the frame.

Claim (Index 1):
An ultrasound imaging system, comprising:\n a frame made from a heat conductive material having a bottom portion with an interior surface and an exterior surface and a top portion with an interior surface and an exterior surface such that when the top portion is joined to the bottom portion, the interior surfaces of the top and bottom portions are spaced apart to define a plenum within an interior of the frame that includes an input port and one or more output ports; a fan secured to the frame that is configured to move air through the plenum of the frame from the input port to the one or more output ports; and circuitry that is thermally coupled to the exterior surfaces of the top and bottom portions of the frame such that heat generated by the circuitry is removed by air flowing through the plenum in the interior of the frame, the plenum being environmentally sealed to keep contaminants from coming into contact with the circuitry when air is flowing through the plenum.
