Paper Abstract
In this paper, we discuss some of the problems associated with
attempting to image blood vessels using ultrasound from an
intravascular approach. These include device miniaturisation,
ultrasonic problems, difficulties with positioning and orientation of
the device, and problems associated specifically with imaging
catheters incorporating mechanically rotating parts.
Some of the possible solutions are suggested, in terms of
modification of transducer design, which may ultimately allow us to
realise the goal of directing intraluminal treatment devices by means
of intravascular, ultrasonic imaging.
