    • Disclosed herein is a catheter apparatus which supports high resolution imaging of the interior of a biological conduit. The apparatus includes an imaging atherectomy catheter of the type having a cutter housing attached to the distal end of a catheter. A tissue cutting member and an ultrasonic imaging transducer are disposed within the housing and are secured to the distal end of a rotatable torque cable. An elongated aperture formed along one side of the housing allows ultrasonic imaging and the intrusion of stenotic material which is removed by axially rotating and translating the cutting member. A miniature rotary encoder is slidably coupled to the end of the torque cable within the housing for precisely determining the rotational orientation of the ultrasonic imaging transducer with respect to the elongated aperture. The rotary encoder is read optically via a fiber optical cable which extends through the catheter. Placement of the rotary encoder at the imaging transducer overcomes distortions resulting from instantaneous speed variations between the two ends of the torque cable. The accurate rotational information permits use of ultrasonic imaging transducers having resolution better than 100 microns without significant image distortion.
    • 本文公开了一种支持生物导管内部的高分辨率成像的导管装置。 该装置包括具有连接到导管的远端的切割器壳体的类型的成像粥样斑块切除术导管。 组织切割构件和超声波成像换能器设置在壳体内并且固定到可旋转扭矩电缆的远端。 沿着壳体的一侧形成的细长孔允许超声成像和通过轴向旋转和平移切割构件而移除的狭窄材料的侵入。 微型旋转编码器可滑动地联接到壳体内的转矩电缆的端部,用于精确地确定超声波成像换能器相对于细长孔的旋转取向。 旋转编码器通过延伸穿过导管的光纤光缆光学读取。 旋转编码器在成像传感器处的放置克服了扭矩电缆两端之间的瞬时速度变化引起的扭曲。 精确的旋转信息允许使用具有优于100微米的分辨率的超声成像换能器,而没有显着的图像失真。
