Abstract
Intravascular imaging is developing as the fourth modality for cardiovascular physicians and scientists. For diagnostic purposes, traditional ultrasound imaging has been augmented with cross-sectional imaging by CT and MR scans. Conventional angiography is a necessary and invasive tool to deliver interventions but lacks the ability to examine flow and the vessel wall. Intravascular imaging by intravascular ultrasound provides this dimensional shift during angiography and enhances diagnosis and therapeutics.
