Intravascular and Intracardiac Ultrasound Imaging
C onsiderable attention is currently being focused on the development of intravascular and intracardiac ultrasound imaging.1-4 Variously termed as "ultrasound angioscopy," "intravascular ultrasound imaging," or "intraluminal ultrasound imaging," this technique basically refers to the imaging modality of visualizing blood vessels and cardiac structures by an ultrasound transducer placed at the t...
متن کاملIntravascular Ultrasound Imaging of Coronary Arteries
Background. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of the three-layered appearance of coronary arteries in adolescence and adults from intravascular ultrasound scans and to correlate these observations with histopathology. Methods and Results. Sixteen intact hearts were excised at autopsy from patients with no clinical history of coronary artery disease. The patients' ages r...
متن کاملIntravascular Ultrasound Imaging of Pulmonary Arteries*
Intravascular ultrasound imaging of the coronary artery has become an accepted standard in the evaluation of atherosclerotic lesions.1'8 It provides more accurate measurements of stenosis areas as well as a qualitative determination of the histologic components of atherosclerotic plaque.9"11 Recently, intravascular ultrasound of the pulmonary artery has been validated as a reliable and rapid me...
متن کاملImaging of coronary atherosclerosis: intravascular ultrasound.
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease, which is today the leading cause of death worldwide and will continue to be the first in the world in 2030. In the formation of atherosclerotic coronary lesions, a critical primary step is the accumulation and oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Oxidized-LDL favours leucocyte recruitment and their activation, as well...
متن کاملThe reproducibility of intravascular ultrasound imaging in vitro.
To determine which factors may affect the image quality when an intravascular ultrasound catheter is used in vivo, the influence of blood, temperature change, and contrast media were evaluated. In addition, to confirm the reproducibility of intravascular ultrasound imaging to measure cross-sectional lumen area, intraobserver and interobserver variability were determined. The findings indicated ...
