Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an important new technique for high resolution imaging of coronary arteries. This paper describes a unique pulsating coronary vessel phantom to evaluate 2D and 3D IVUS studies. The elasticity and pulsatility of the vessel wall can be varied to mimic normal and diseased states of the human coronary artery. The phantom described is useful in evaluating image-guided interventional procedures and in testing the performance of 3D IVUS reconstruction and segmentation algorithms.
