摘要:An imaging assembly for an intravascular ultrasound system includes a catheter,
an imaging core, and at least one transducer conductor. The imaging core is insertableinto the catheter and extendable from a distal end of the catheter. The imaging coreincludes a rotatable magnet, a tilted reflective surface, and at least one fixed transducerall disposed in a body. The rotatable magnet is configured and arranged to rotate by amagnetic field generated external to the catheter. The tilted reflective surface rotateswith the magnet. The at least one transducer is configured and arranged fortransforming applied electrical signals to acoustic signals and also for transformingreceived echo signals to electrical signals. The at least one transducer conductor iselectrically coupled to the at least one transducer and is configured and arranged toextend into the catheter when the imaging core is extended from the catheter.
