Abstract
This article reviews the development and current status of catheter-based, intravascular ultrasound imaging. The first section provides an introduction to some of the general technical issues encountered in the design of the catheter imaging systems and compares the potential merits of the multiple-element versus the mechanical approach. The second section of the article reviews the data from early studies correlating the intravascular ultrasound images with histologic sections (in vitro) and angiography (in vivo). The article concludes with a discussion of potential clinical applications and future technical developments.Mesh：
