Abstract | We have previously described 2D arrays operating at up to 10.0 MHz consisting of several thousand elements for transthoracic cardiac imaging and over a hundred elements for intracardiac imaging using 7 Fr to 12 Fr catheters. Other laboratories have proposed doing real time 3D intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with synthetic aperture techniques. We have begun to explore forward looking real time 3D phased array intravascular ultrasound, which may require imaging depths of a few centimeters to look down the axis of a coronary vessel to view vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. We obtained a new non-coaxial based cable technology that allowed 100 signal wires to be placed inside a 4.8 French IVUS lumen with an inner diameter of 1.3 mm. In order to obtain the desired penetration depth, we constructed an 8.5 MHz transducer array which includes 11/spl times/11=121 elements for real time 3D intravascular imaging. The transducer was constructed in the forward viewing configuration to allow simultaneous real time B-scans, C-scans and volumetric rendering of vessels and vascular stents. In order to conform to the round aperture of the IVUS lumen, the corners were cut off resulting in a total of 100 signal channels. Field simulations show a -6dB spatial resolution of 1.6 mm at a depth of 10 mm. The 50 Ohm insertion loss is -83 dB and the -6 dB bandwidth is 17%. Average cross talk on nearest neighbor elements is -27.6 dB when loaded by the Volumetrics Medical Imaging (Durham, NC) scanner, and -31.6 dB when loaded by 50 Ohms. Real time 3D images in tissue vascular phantoms have been made within a 4.5 mm diameter lumen. These in vitro images include the real time 3D rendering of a vascular stent. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
