Report Description<br />

The imagining is captured by the frequency of the ultrasound which varies type of<br />

vessels which is to be scanned.<br />

Often used frequency is 20 MHz<br />

Vascular imagining for a medium sized vessel is 12.5 - 50 MHz<br />

Vascular imagining for a large vessel such a aorta is 12.5 - 20 MHz<br />

Smaller vessels require high frequency of probes within a range of 30-40 MHz<br />

Two types of catheter systems are, one with an end-hole which are delivered over the<br />

guide wire, and those which do not have an end-hole and are introduced directly through<br />

the sheath.<br />

The transducer design have been approached into two basic ways, i.e.<br />

Phased-array<br />

Mechanical type<br />

In the phased-array systems, there are multiple transducer elements (32-64) which are<br />

in arranged in an array are activated sequentially to generate the image.<br />

Mechanical probes rotates an electric transducer at 1800 rpm, which has the capacity to<br />

produce 30 images per second.<br />

There is drastic Increase in the number percutaneous coronary interventions and<br />

number of stent procedures. Major Lot of population now a days prefer less invasive<br />

procedures, the technological advancements in image guided therapeutic treatment and<br />

growing incidence of cardiovascular disease led to the increase in the intravascular
