Intravascular and Intracardiac Ultrasound Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
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 tip of a catheter or catheterlike probe introduced into the vascular system by an arteriotomy or venotomy and advanced to the

Use of intracardiac echocardiography to guide ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Intracardiac Echocardiography Ultrasound technology has progressed rapidly over the past several years, leading to significant miniaturization of transducer design. The original catheter-based transducers, known as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters, are high frequency (20 to 40 MHz) and are used to image the walls of coronary arteries and other small vessels. They contain a single ultra...

Background: Intravascular imaging is a tool to detect coronary artery atherosclerosis which plays the major role in vessel stenosis degree determination and plaque pathology as a supplement of invasive angiography. This study aimed at comparing Intravascular imaging with invasive angiography. Materials and Methods: For retrieving second type studies, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Centre for R...

متن کاملIntracardiac ultrasound to detect aneurysm in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder characterized by fibrofattty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium. In the revised 2010 Task Force Criteria, a major criteria for ARVD/C is the presence of RV aneurysm by 2D echo. Our report demonstrates that intracardiac ultrasound can detect RV aneurysms and also focal absence of trabeculations which bri...
متن کاملIntracardiac, intravascular, two-dimensional, high-frequency ultrasound imaging of pulmonary artery and its branches in humans and animals.
Intravascular ultrasound imaging is a promising new method for assessing vascular morphology. We evaluated the capability of intravascular ultrasound to quantify pulmonary artery (PA) morphology in vitro and explored the feasibility of in vivo PA imaging in animals and humans. In the in vitro study of 15 PA segments, we used a 20-MHz prototype ultrasound catheter. Intravascular ultrasound (y) p...
