ABSTRACT

The intracoronary ultrasound is an invasive method diagnosis that uses ultrasound waves to obtain tomographic images of the interior of the coronary artery by using a catheter with a miniaturized transductor in its extremity which has crystals made of ceramics.
This technique studies the coronary diseases differently from the luminogram offered by the angiography. At present, it is the technique to obtain intravascular images most frequently used.
