Abstract
【解決手段】装置は、プローブ駆動モジュールと直線移動モジュールを備える。駆動モジュールは、サブアセンブリの長手方向に移動するように超音波像映プローブに結合される。駆動モジュールは、遠位端側に配置された超音波像映プローブのトランスジューサ・サブアセンブリの長手方向の変位が手動又は自動で行われる状態の間を動くように、移送ユニットに取り付けられる。後者のとき、駆動モジュールは移動モジュールに設けたモータ駆動スクリューに係合して一定の速度で変位する。遠位端側に位置する超音波トランスジューサは超音波スキャンの間、軸方向に間隔をあけた包囲組織体の360°のデータスライスを得るように長手方向に移動され、データスライスは2次元又は3次元の走査組織体の表現に再構成される。

Description
治療及び/又は診断能力を有するプローブ装置は血管内および他の臓器疾患部の処置及び/又は診断を助けるために医療分野における利用が増加している。この関係で、米国特許第5,115,814号明細書には遠位端に超音波像映プローブ部材を有する血管内像映プローブが開示されている。このプローブ部材は血管内部位に位置させることができるものである。この超音波部材を電子部品とともに操作することにより目視できる映像を作成し、患者の血管内疾患を治療する医師を助ける。このようにして医師は、リアルタイムまたはそれと本質的に同じように超音波像映プローブ部材によって形成される血管内映像を見ることができ、存在することのある血管内異常を位置付け、同定してそれによって適正な処置及び/又は治療を処方することになる。治療及び/又は診断プローブ装置を使用して血管内部位に対し遠位端の操作すべきプローブ部材を正確に位置付ける必要性は重要であり、担当する医師は確信して患者の血管内系統にある異常位置を決定することができる。プローブ装置に対する正確な血管内位置情報は、医師が続く治療及び/又は診断を行うに必要となるであろう後のプローブ位置付けの再現を可能にする。例えば、医師の処方された治療管理を行うために、及び/又は早期の治療効果を後でモニターするために必要となる。
一つの先行の、細長いプローブ装置を備えた遠位端の走査すべき部材を長手方向に移動させる提案はジョン・ビー・シンプソン等(John B. Simpson et al.)の1988年9月20日に発行された米国特許第4,771,774号(以下、シンプソン等の774という)に開示されている。シンプソン等の774に開示の装置はフレキシブルな駆動ケーブルを介して遠位端のカッタ部材のための内蔵されたモータ駆動ユニットを含んでおり、手動で回転カッタ部材を相対的に長手方向に移動させるようになっている。
本発明の上記自動化された長手方向の位置移動装置は、大略、プローブ駆動モジュールと、線形トランスデューサ・モジュールとを備えている。上記プローブ駆動モジュールは、前進位置と後退位置との間で往復移動可能な手動位置決めアームを有している細長いバレル形のハウジング構造において、最も好ましく実施化されるものである。上記位置決めアームは、プローブ部材がその中に配置されている上記案内さやの基端部をつかんでいる。可撓性トルクケーブルは、上記プローブ部材の先端で上記トランスデューサ・サブアセンブリを駆動軸に接続する。該駆動軸は、上記好ましい実施例では分離して固定されたベースユニットに配置された精度制御(precision rate-controlled)モータによって駆動される。好ましくは、上記ハウジングは、「クラムシェル(clamshell)」(二枚貝の殻)形式にヒンジ結合されて、脈管内プローブアセンブリの電気的及び機械的結合をより容易にする。上記位置決めアームは、上記案内カテーテル又は誘導針(introducer)をつかむように、複雑でない、一体型の超音波プローブアセンブリを使用するときに除去又は変更される。
