The first ultrasound imaging catheter system was developed by Bom and his colleagues in Rotterdam, the Netherland, in By the late 1980s, the first images of human vessels were recorded by Yock and his Since then, IVUS has become a pivotal catheter-based imaging technology that can provide scientific insights into vascular biology and practical guidance for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in clinical settings. In this chapter, IVUS and the other catheter-based imaging devices—optical coherence tomography (OCT), angioscopy and spectrocopy—are described. These s newly developed imaging technologies provide supplemental and unique insights into vascular biology as well. INTRAVASCULAR ULTRASOUND Basics of IVUS and Procedures The IVUS .
