Paper Abstract
We report on a new imaging catheter using high frequency ultrasound to produce short range (8 mm), high resolution rotary scan images from within blood vessels. The objective of the system is to aid the interventional physician in performing angioplasty on stenoses. This system provides an adjunct, and potentially an alternative, to fluoroscopy and optical angioscopy in the diagnosis and visualization of stenotic lesions. We have constructed prototypes of a 6 F (2 mm) system and begun clinical evaluation in human peripheral vessels.
