Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-mode mechanical rotation type multifrequency IVUS (intravascular ultrasound) imaging probe. Three ultrasonic transducers with multiple frequencies are constituted into a three-layer multi-frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer structure, the three ultrasonic transducers are connected simultaneously through a coaxial cable and comprise one group of low-frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers formed by two low-frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers and one high-frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer; the two low-frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers are stacked and work simultaneously to stimulate a contrast medium at a lower frequency to produce harmonic signals or work separately to send high-strength acoustic radiation force impulse at a higher frequency to produce deformation displacement in blood vessel tissue; the high-frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer detects tiny deformation displacement, acquires higher harmonic signals and performs echo-planar imaging. The probe can acquire IVUS echo-planar imaging, acoustic radiation force impulse imaging and ultrasonic ultra-high-order harmonic contrast imaging simultaneously.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a multi-mode mechanically rotating multi-frequency intravascular ultrasonic imaging probe. Background technique [0002] Coronary heart disease is one of the major diseases of human death. Accurate assessment of the "plaque progression" (from plaque formation to rupture or erosion) of vulnerable plaques can help prevent coronary heart disease and reduce mortality, and is an important task in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease. [0003] Intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) is the most commonly used imaging method to detect the physiological composition and morphological structure information of coronary plaques, and is known as the new "gold standard" for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. It can obtain the complete three-layer structure information of the blood vessel through the intensity signal, and rely on the echo signal intensity informat...
