Intravascular ultrasound imaging provides quantitative assessment of atheroma and demonstrates blood vessel wall structure, offering insights beyond traditional angiography.
Intravascular ultrasound imaging is a useful and promising modality that is capable of demonstrating the structure of blood vessel walls. It also provides a quantitative assessment of the amount of atheroma present that cannot be visualized by angiography. This article reviews the basic principles of intravascular ultrasound imaging and describes the clinical studies after balloon angioplasty evaluated by intravascular ultrasound imaging.
