Abstract: The invention relates to a system for providing a medical device, the system including a mounting structure arranged adjacent to and/or at least partially above an access space where an object to be accessed by the medical device can be placed, a holding device retained by the mounting structure and configured to hold the medical device at a changeable position above the access space, wherein the holding device is configured such that the medical device is moved from a retracted position to a first extended position upon a first predefined event.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system (10) comprising probe (20), a processing unit (30) for processing an image, a display (50) for visualizing the image, and a control panel (40) for configuring and controlling the processing unit. The control panel comprises input control elements (41) and a touch pad (42). The touch pad is a multi-touch device providing multi-touch information of at least two or more touch of user on the touch pad for determining a gesture and an associated system function.

Abstract: The invention relates to a probe (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) which has a sealed cooling chamber (140, 240, 340, 440, 540) arranged within a casing (112, 212, 312, 412, 512) of the probe. An interface unit (124, 224, 324, 424, 524) of the probe is at least partially arranged within the cooling chamber or in contact with the cooling chamber. The cooling chamber is at least partially filled with a heat transfer liquid (142, 242, 342, 442, 542).

Abstract: A probe, in particular for ultrasound, having a cooling chamber which is fluidtight and at least partially filled with a dielectric heat-transfer fluid. An interface unit associated with an emitting and/or receiving element of the probe is located at least partially inside or in contact with the cooling chamber. The probe includes a dry chamber separated from the cooling chamber by a fluidtight wall, and a porous heat sink arranged at least partially inside the cooling chamber.
