Medical diagnostic technology has always been a crucial element in the field of medical diagnostics. Among these technologies, ultrasound diagnostics stands out as one of the most commonly used methods. It is non-invasive, painless, and offers convenient and intuitive insights, making it widely used in routine medical examinations. Ultrasound diagnostic technology applies ultrasound to the human body, measuring and understanding the physiological or structural state of tissues to generate data for detecting diseases and providing diagnostic clues.
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) systems represent a critical advancement in medical imaging technology, facilitating the visualization of cross-sectional images within blood vessels. By employing catheter-based micro-ultrasound probes, these devices provide real-time imaging directly from within the vessel lumen, crucial for diagnosing and treating conditions such as coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and vascular stenosis.
