Coronary Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) equipment consists of an IVUS catheter, pullback device and the imaging console. In the geometry, the size of the plaque, its relationship to luminal stenosis, arterial remodeling and eccentricity can be evaluated. Incomplete stent apposition can be detected by intravascular ultrasound.

The principle of Doppler is that the frequency of sound wave coming from an object which is moving towards the ultrasound probe increases while that from an object moving away from the probe decreases. Colour Doppler echocardiography receives the ultrasound signals reflected from moving red blood cells in the heart.

Fetal aortic valvuloplasty is considered for fetuses with severe valvar aortic stenosis and echocardiographic features suggesting a risk of progression to hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Currently all procedures are done percutaneously under ultrasound guidance following maternal spinal or epidural anaesthesia. Esch, Lynn A.

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis. It is used in the emergency department, at bedside, in the intensive care unit as well as in the operating room.
