Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to intraluminal ultrasound imaging and, in particular, to the structure of an intraluminal imaging device.
  • the intraluminal imaging device can include a flexible tip at the distal end of a flexible elongate member.
  • Intraluminal imaging devices are inserted into the human body to obtain information regarding the condition of various anatomies therein.
  • the intraluminal imaging device such as an intravascular ultrasound (IVTJS) device
  • IVTJS intravascular ultrasound
  • the intraluminal imaging device can be introduced into to the body through a blood vessel and then guided to an anatomical area of interest. It is common for the intraluminal imaging device to encounter various obstructions while traveling within the body.
  • a front end of the intraluminal imaging device has been equipped with a tip member to facilitate the navigation of the intraluminal imaging device through the body.
  • An outer profile of the tip member may be conical in shape and decrease in diameter from a leading front end of the tip member to a back end.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic schematic view of an imaging system, according to aspects of the present disclosure.
  • intravascular device according to aspects of the present disclosure.
  • the scanner assembly 110 included in the scanner assembly 110 to select the particular transducer array element(s) to be used for transmit and receive, (2) providing the transmit trigger signals to the integrated circuit controller chip(s) 206A, 206B included in the scanner assembly 110 to activate the transmitter circuitry to generate an electrical pulse to excite the selected transducer array element(s), and/or (3) accepting amplified echo signals received from the selected transducer array element(s) via amplifiers included on the integrated circuit controller chip(s)l26 of the scanner assembly 110.
  • any cavities between the flex circuit 214 and the surface of the support member 230 are filled with a backing material 246.
  • the liquid backing material 246 can be introduced between the flex circuit 214 and the support member 230 via passageways 235 in the stands 242, 244.
  • suction can be applied via the passageways 235 of one of the stands 242, 244, while the liquid backing material 246 is fed between the flex circuit 214 and the support member 230 via the passageways 235 of the other of the stands 242, 244.
  • the backing material can be cured to allow it to solidify and set.
  • the support member 230 includes more than two stands 242, 244, only one of the stands 242, 244, or neither of the stands.
  • the support member 230 can have an increased diameter distal portion 262 and/or increased diameter proximal portion 264 that is sized and shaped to elevate and support the distal and/or proximal portions of the flex circuit 214.
