Coronary Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) equipment consists of an IVUS catheter, pullback device and the imaging console. Incomplete stent apposition can be detected by intravascular ultrasound. If lesion lengths have to be assessed, motorized pullback is required. For assessing lesion morphology a manual pullback can also be done.

Ultrasound techniques currently used in echocardiography uses frame rates from 30-150 frames/s. While conventional ultrasound uses focused beam transmission, ultrafast ultrasound uses unfocused plane-wave ultrasound which can result in very high temporal resolution with frame rates up to 100 times faster [2]. 2023.10.025.
