Embodiment Construction
[0016] In the following detailed description, a catheter system is described and a shape-controllable catheter is described that can be manipulated to form a curved shape, either a simple curved shape or a compound curved shape. In the relaxed state, insertion of the catheter into the body is easily accomplished. In the non-relaxed state, contact conditions favorable for quality operation can be obtained. For example, in the case of imaging operations, close and uniform contact of the imaging array with the body wall can be achieved.
[0017] refer to Figure 1A and 1B , shows a perspective view of a portion of an exemplary catheter 100 that can be manipulated to form a compound curved shape, such as a concave bend. Catheter 100 may be described as a "bump-shaped" catheter because catheter 100 can be manipulated ( Figure 1B ) to form a bulge before the end of the catheter 100. In the case of an ultrasound catheter system, the ultrasound array 101 may be located at the pe...
