ABSTRACT:
A simultaneous side-and-end viewing ultrasound imaging catheter system includes at least one side array and at least one end array. Each of the arrays has at least one row of ultrasonic transducer elements. The elements are operable as a single ultrasound transducer which are phased to produce a field of side-and-end view. A multiplanar omnidirectional field of side-and-end view can also be formed when there are a plurality of side arrays and end arrays mounted on the catheter body. In certain applications, the output of each array or a portion of an array can be separately displayed and/or interrogated so as to provide better navigational and therapeutic visual aids.
