Abstract: A device for imaging within a body of a patient is provided. In one embodiment, the device includes a flexible elongate member that can be inserted into the body of the patient. The device also has an imaging assembly that is disposed at and extending a length of a distal portion of the flexible elongate member. The imaging assembly may include an array of imaging elements that may have an outward surface and an inward surface. The imaging assembly may further include an integrated circuit adjacent to the inward surface of the array of imaging elements. The device may further include a conductive plate adjacent to and extending at least a portion of a length of the imaging assembly. The conductive plate may receive heat generated by at least one of the array of imaging elements or the integrated circuit.

Abstract: A system comprises an imaging device for imaging within a body of a patient. The imaging device comprises a flexible elongate member and an imaging assembly disposed at a distal portion of the flexible elongate member. The imaging assembly comprises an array of imaging elements and a plurality of electronic components configured to perform an electrical function associated with imaging within the body of the patient using the array of imaging elements. Each of the plurality of electronic components is radiopaque such that the plurality of electronic components comprises a radiopaque pattern at the distal portion of the flexible elongate member. A method of imaging within a patient body comprises receiving a radiographic image representative of an ultrasound imaging device positioned within the patient body and determining an orientation of the ultrasound imaging device using a radiopaque pattern of a plurality of electronic components in the radiographic image.
