    摘要: A catheter assembly for an intravascular ultrasound system includes a catheter insertable into patient vasculature via a guidewire. A watertight imaging core is disposed in the distal end of the catheter. The imaging core includes a motor, at least one fixed transducer, and a signal redirection unit. The motor includes a magnet configured and arranged to rotate upon generation of a magnetic field by magnetic field windings. The signal redirection unit is coupled to the magnet such that rotation of the magnet causes a corresponding rotation of at least a portion of the signal redirection unit. The signal redirection unit includes a tilted mirror that redirects acoustic signals transmitted from the fixed transducer to patient tissue. At least one transducer conductor and at least one stator conductor are electrically coupled to the imaging core and in electrical communication with the proximal end of the catheter.

    摘要: Techniques are described that allow intravascular ultrasound (“IVUS”) imaging of patient tissue, e.g., a blood vessel wall, to be performed at one or more angles selected by a clinician, for example. In one example, a method includes receiving user input, via interaction with a user interface, that defines a range of angles through which a scan will be performed, determining, based on the received user input, at least one current value to be applied to at least one lead of a stator of a motor, controlling application of the at least one current to the at least one lead of the stator in order to rotate a rotor of the motor through the range of angles, and through the range of angles, receiving and processing electrical signals from at least one transducer to form at least one image.

    摘要: A medical imaging assembly includes a sheath with a lumen. An imaging core is disposed at one end of an imaging core shaft disposed in the lumen. The imaging core shaft bends along a shape memory region when the imaging core is extended from the lumen. The imaging core includes a transducer to image patient tissue, a mirror to redirect acoustic signals between the transducer and patient tissue, and a magnet to drive rotation of the mirror. The magnet is rotatable by a magnetic field generated at the location of the magnet. An imaging core shaft rotator rotates the imaging core shaft such that, when the imaging core is extended from the lumen, rotation of the imaging core shaft causes radial rotation of the imaging core about the sheath. The imaging core shaft rotator includes rotatable imaging core shaft magnets fixedly disposed over a portion of the imaging core shaft.
