ABSTRACT:
A catheter tip imaging probe varies the effective radius of resolution of an acoustic beam by translating the focal length. Varying the effective radius improves the resolution at any point of interest along the arterial walls. The focal length can be dynamically translated by deflecting either the transducer or the mirror in a conventional imaging probe.
