Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging systems use high frequency ultrasound (HFU) ranging from 20 MHz to 100 MHz, or even higher to acquire high spatial resolution images of vessel diseases such as atherosclerosis. To take full advantage of HFU, imaging systems should have the capability to accommodate HFU with a relatively small amplitude and a wide dynamic range due to the small aperture of IVUS transducers and the frequency dependent attenuation of ultrasound, respectively. However, it is difficult to implement a signal receiver with off-the-shelf components that can provide high amplification gain and wide dynamic range simultaneously. Here, we present the analog frontend signal receiver recently developed for high quality IVUS imaging.
