Coronary artery imaging with intravascular high-frequency ultrasound.
Safe and effective clinical application of new interventional therapies may require more precise imaging of atherosclerotic coronary arteries. To determine the reliability of catheter-based intravascular ultrasound as an imaging modality, a miniaturized prototype ultrasound system (1-mm transducer; center frequency, 25 MHz) was used to acquire two-dimensional, cross-sectional images in 21 human...
متن کاملUnderstanding coronary artery disease: tomographic imaging with intravascular ultrasound.
In 1856 the pathologist Virchow published his now classic observations on atherothrombosis based on the examination of postmortem tomographic artery sections. The Virchow triad describes three components contributing to the atherothrombotic disease process: the vessel wall, the blood constituents, and blood flow. In vivo coronary imaging techniques became available more than 100 years later wit...

متن کاملCurrent Use of Intravascular Ultrasound in Coronary Artery Disease
Recently, most coronary interventions rely on visual assessment of the coronary lesions using angiography with all known inherent limitations. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) allows for the evaluation of the coronary pathology to obtain information about both the extent and nature of atherosclerotic plaque; thus, planning the intervention strategy is based on objective data. Following the adven...
متن کاملNon-invasive estimation of cardiac wall stress by using tissue doppler-echocardiography ultrasound images: People with coronary artery stenosis
In this study, a method for non-invasive estimation of stress on the heart wall in the diastole phase is presented using ultrasound echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress on the heart wall as a pre-diagnosis to identify people with coronary artery stenosis. 29 patients with stenosis of more than 70%, 30 patients with stenosis of 50 to 7...
