Vascular anatomy can be more accurately assessed from an endoluminal position applying the principles of conventional ultrasound. It may effectively batter select patients for endovascular procedures and complement the information gained from CT, MRA, transcutaneous ultrasound, and contrast angiography. Three-dimensional and longitudinal grey-scale reconstruction of tomographic IVUS images are made available through computer software programs. Information gained includes: plaque characterization and morphology, a cross-sectional evaluation of stenoses, assessment of the impact/effect of balloon angioplasty, evaluation of vessel dissections and the ability to selectively place intravascular stents.
应用传统超声原理，可从腔内位置更准确地评估血管解剖结构。它能有效地更好地筛选适合血管内介入手术的患者，并补充从CT、MRA、经皮超声和血管造影术中获得的信息。通过计算机软件程序可对断层血管内超声图像进行三维和纵向灰阶重建。获得的信息包括：斑块特征和形态、狭窄的横截面评估、球囊血管成形术的影响/效果评估、血管夹层评估以及选择性放置血管内支架的能力。
