Frontiers in Intravascular Imaging Technologies [PDF]
Circulation, 2008 In 1971, Bom et al1 developed one of the first catheter-based real-time imaging techniques for use in the cardiac system. In placing a set of phased-array ultrasound transducers within the cardiac chambers, Bom and colleagues showed that higher frequencies than those used in transthoracic ultrasound imaging could be used to produce high-resolution ...
