摘要:
An Ultrasonic Equipment and its Catheter-type Ultrasonic Probe can be inserted in capillaries such as blood vessels, and comprises a catheter-type ultrasonic probe for generating ultrasonic waves by a piezoelectric transducer arrayed at its tip. A plurality of the piezoelectric transducer segments are arrayed on a two-dimensional plane, perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the insertion direction of the probe into a capillary with their ultrasonic wave emitting surface faced in the insertion direction. A part of the plane is cut out to provide a guide unit for passing a treating catheter or a guide wire in the insertion direction.
摘要:
An ultrasonic angioscope system which uses an imaging technique of sending ultrasonic waves to a portion ahead of a stricture of a blood vessel and visualizing a portion in the forward direction of the angioscope, and which uses a laser breakdown is provided. The ultrasonic angioscope system includes: a laser generating device (11) installed outside the human body; a probe (20) that introduces laser beams (13) emitted from the laser generating device (11) into a blood vessel (1) via an optical fiber (12), is set at the tip of the optical fiber (12), and has a lens (14) and a water tank (15) as a dielectric; ultrasonic-wave generating means that uses a laser breakdown (16) produced in the water tank (15); a plurality of hydrophones (18) that receive reflected waves, of ultrasonic waves emitted by the laser breakdown (16), from a stricture portion (2) of a blood vessel (1), and are disposed at the tip end of the probe (20); and means of forming a stricture-shaped image of the stricture portion (2) based on the signals received from the hydrophones (18) by a synthetic aperture method.

A moving object measuring apparatus includes: a movement trajectory information acquisition portion that obtains movement trajectory information indicating a movement trajectory of a moving object from images included in two or more video sequences that are stored, for each of the two or more video sequences separately; a three-dimensional trajectory information acquisition portion that obtains three-dimensional trajectory information that is information of a three-dimensional trajectory of the moving object by using Visual Hulls Method, based on the movement trajectory information obtained by the movement trajectory information acquisition portion for each of the two or more video sequences separately and two or more camera parameters that are stored; and a three-dimensional trajectory information output portion that outputs the three-dimensional trajectory information.
