Nonuniform rotation of mechanical intravascular ultrasound transducers may give rise to a geometric distortion of the ultrasound image known as the rotation angle artefact. This investigation studied the influence of different degrees and combinations of catheter shaft angulation on image morphology
## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate the ability of blackβblood coronary arterial wall MRI to identify the coronary artery plaque, using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as the golden standard. ## Materials and Methods: Nineteen consecutive patients underwent IVUS and coronary artery wall MRI. Cro
The aim of this study was to test a prototype MRI-compatible focused ultrasound phased array system for trans-skull brain tissue ablation. Rabbit thigh muscle and brain were sonicated with a prototype, hemispherical 500-element ultrasound phased array operating at frequencies of 700-800 kHz. An ex v
