Abstract: A medical imaging device having a bore 104 for receiving a patient during a medical imaging process and a ventilation channel 216 having an opening within the upper circumference of the bore for supplying cool air into the bore. At least one lighting circuit 210 with one or more LEDs is positioned within the ventilation channel 216 and is configured to illuminate the entire length of the bore 104. Air supplied from the ventilation channel 216 cools the lighting circuit 210 and prevents overheating effects within the lighting circuit that are caused by fields generated during the medical imaging process. The lighting circuit 210 comprises one or more filters, wherein the resonance frequency of the medical imaging device is within the stopband of the filters.

Abstract: An apparatus for positioning a patient for medical imaging comprises a support system (10), a control unit (20) and a filter unit (30). The support system (10) comprises a patient support device (12) and an actuator (14) configured to move the patient support device. The support system (10) is located inside an electromagnetically-shielded enclosure (2). The control unit (20) is configured to adjust the position of the patient support device (12) by communicating with the support system (10) via one or more signal lines (40). The control unit (20) is located outside the electromagnetically-shielded enclosure (2). The filter unit (30) is configured to filter noise from the signal lines (40).
