Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a valuable adjunct to angiography, providing new insights
in the diagnosis of and therapy for coronary disease. Angiography depicts only a 2D …

Angiography has major limitations in its ability to assess coronary disease. Intravascular
ultrasound (IVUS) offers unique capabilities to assess coronary atherosclerotic burden. The …

Many cardiovascular events are clinical manifestations of underlying atherosclerotic
disease. The progression of atherosclerosis, traditionally measured by angiography, is …

Clinicians have long used the size of the lumen and the angiogram as a predictor of
coronary events. However, cardiovascular disease is not a disease of the lumen but a …

Angiography remains a widely utilized imaging modality during vascular procedures.
Angiography, however, has its limitations by underestimating the true vessel size, plaque …

A variety of new devices in the field of intravascular ultrasound imaging are being designed
and tested. Mechanical intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) devices with rotating transducers …

Catheter‐based intravascular ultrasound is a relatively new imaging tool to examine
endovascular structure. One major goal for the development of intravascular ultrasound …

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides valuable information on the coronary vascular
lumen and wall and has been an important tool in the cardiac catheterization laboratory for …

The current intracoronary ultrasound imaging frequency range of 20 to 45 MHz provides 70
