Intravascular Ultrasonic Imaging with a Micromotor

View through CrossRef
This paper reports a new intravascular imaging system with a micromotor, revolution characteristics of the micromotor and experimental results using a plastic tube. In this system, an ultrasonic beam is scanned radially by the micromotor instead of a scanning wire. The experimental results show that a cross-sectional image of the tube is reconstructed and that this system has a possibility of application to the observation of the inside of a blood vessel.
