An intraluminal imaging device, comprising:
- a flexible elongate member configured for insertion into a blood vessel of a patient, the flexible elongate member including a longitudinal axis, a proximal portion1 and a distal portion;
- and
- an imaging assembly comprising a flex circuit disposed in a rolled configuration at the distal portion of the flexible elongate member, the flex circuit comprising:
- a spine member extending along the longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of rib members extending from the spine member and transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the plurality of rib members are spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis such that the imaging assembly is configured to flex between the plurality of rib members;
- and
- a plurality of conductive traces different than the spine member and the plurality of rib members.
