摘要： A two-dimensional phased array ultrasound transducer comprises a transducer housing, a sensor mounted within the housing, and a convex environmental barrier for placement against, and maximizing contact with, a patient's body. The environmental barrier does not necessarily provide any focusing capability, therefore the propagation velocity of sound through the environmental barrier is approximately equal to the propagation velocity of sound through tissue of the patient's body.

摘要： An ultrasound catheter including a flexible, torsionally-rigid elongate transducer cable having proximal and distal ends, with a transducer housing fixably connected proximate to the distal end. An ultrasound transducer, having a substantially planar surface and a scan plane substantially perpendicular to the planar surface, is fixably connected to a first side of the transducer housing to provide a predetermined two-dimensional cross-sectional image corresponding to an angular position of the ultrasound transducer. The transducer generates a series of successive two-dimensional cross-sectional images. In one embodiment, the ultrasound transducer is a linear array transducer which produces a substantially rectangular scan plane. A guide wire sleeve which is fixably connected to a second side of the housing substantially opposing the first side, causes the transducer to follow a predetermined rotational path around the guide wire when a torque is applied to the proximal end of the transducer cable. The guide wire sleeve is preferably configured to insure that the planar surface of the ultrasound transducer is maintained in substantial parallel relationship with the guide wire positioned within the sleeve. An ultrasound imaging system comprising the ultrasound catheter also includes a positioning system coupled to the proximal end of the transducer cable. The positioning system applies a torque to the proximal end of the cable to rotate the array about an axis defined by the guide wire channel. A controller rotates the array between successive image scans and forms a three-dimensional image using the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sectional images generated by the array.

The ultrasound-imaging system comprises an input device configured to receive a plurality of imaging parameters and a controller in communication with the input device. The ultrasound-imaging system generates an operator-directed transmit-beam scan sequence in response to the imaging parameters and transmits a spatially modified transmit-beam scan sequence over a portion of the volume-scan range of the ultrasound-imaging system. Moreover, the ultrasound-imaging system provides the flexibility for an operator to direct a plurality of operator-configurable multi-dimensional views.

摘要： An acoustic backing element includes a glass fiber epoxy composite planar substrate to the outer major surfaces of which are applied electrically conductive material. The electrically conductive material may be a conductive layer that is etched to expose electrical contact material in the form of conductive traces. Each conductive trace provides electrical connection between a transducer element and electrical control circuitry typically located on an electrical circuit board. The acoustic backing element provides precisely located electrical contacts for connecting the transducer elements to their control circuitry, while simultaneously providing superior acoustic attenuation. In addition, the thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) of the glass fiber epoxy composite material comprising the planar substrate can be closely matched to the TCE of the electrical contact material. In this manner, fatigue and failure caused by mechanical stresses between the planar substrate and the electrical contact material due to temperature extremes and temperature cycling are significantly reduced.

摘要： An intravascular ultrasound catheter system is provided and enables a simplified, economical technique for ultrasound visualization of a blood vessel. The catheter may include a park ablation system for crossing chronic total occlusions and severe stenoses. The catheter is advanceable and is oriented entirely under manual control of the clinician and the application of radiofrequency energy for spark erosion of the stenosis also is controlled manually by the clinician. The system enables the clinician to observe an ultrasound image sufficiently to determine where to orient the ablation electrode so as to reduce the risk of dissection or perforation of the blood vessel. The ultrasound image is generated in response to manual rotation of the catheter and the ablation spark is generated only when the physician is satisfied as to the orientation of the electrode within the vessel.
