Ultrasonography

6.5K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

    Summary

    This study introduces a new intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) transducer array for shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) to detect vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques. The developed IVUS-SWEI technology successfully imaged soft plaques in phantom and ex vivo artery models.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Imaging
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Atherosclerotic plaques pose a significant risk for cardiovascular events.
    • Current intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) primarily provides structural information.
    • Characterizing plaque composition, particularly soft plaques, remains a clinical challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) transducer array capable of shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI).
    • To assess the feasibility of using IVUS-SWEI for detecting and characterizing atherosclerotic soft plaques in arteries.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of single-element and axially-segmented IVUS transducer prototypes from piezoceramic tubes.
    • Characterization of transducer performance including focal gain, pressure, and displacement generation.
    • Implementation of SWEI using the IVUS array to generate shear wave speed (SWS) images in phantoms and ex vivo arteries.

    Main Results:

    • The IVUS array achieved a focal gain of 5x and generated measurable radial displacements and axial shear waves.
    • SWEI successfully reconstructed images of a vessel phantom, differentiating soft inclusions (SWS: 1.66 m/s) from vessel walls (SWS: 0.97 m/s).
    • Ex vivo imaging of a porcine artery yielded a mean SWS of 3.97 m/s, demonstrating in vivo applicability.

    Conclusions:

    • A cylindrical IVUS transducer array can be engineered for effective SWEI.
    • IVUS-SWEI shows promise for non-invasive detection and characterization of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.
    • This technology could enhance diagnostic capabilities for coronary artery disease.
