Abstract
In this paper, a new type of vascular imaging system is presented which is designed for use in conjunction with percutaneous transluminal treatment techniques (balloon and laser angioplasty, atherectomy etc). Three dimensional computer models of arterial sections are reconstructed in full voxel space from data acquired using a purpose-built, catheter-mounted ultrasound probe. The system is standalone, using commercially available computer hardware and specially written software. The software is equally compatible with source data from other modalities (e.g. CT and MR), and the system can therefore be incorporated into a PACS environment.Keywords
