Optimizing the beam pattern of a forward-viewing ring-annular ultrasound array for intravascular imaging
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging systems using circumferential arrays mounted on cardiac catheter tips fire beams orthogonal to the principal axis of the catheter. The system produces high resolution cross-sectional images but must be guided by conventional angioscopy. A real-time forward-vie...
