The Frontal 3-D Imaging Method for Ultrasonic Intravascular Endoscopes

abstract

We suggest a new ultrasonic imaging system using a ring array probe
which enables to obtain 3-D frontal images instantaneously. In this
system,  spherical pulsed waves are used to reconstruct 3-D images. 
We applied this system  for observing the inside of a blood vessel, 
and we could obtain 3-D images.

The experimental result indicate that this system will be available
for  intravascular endoscopes  to image organs in motion  or  blood 
vessels.
