摘要:
A probe device for detecting atherosclerotic plaque may include: an elongate shaft having a proximal end for coupling with a catheter and a distal end; an opening in a side of the shaft; a scintillating window disposed over the opening to form a water tight seal and thus form an imaging window compartment; a 45-degree rotating mirror disposed at least partially within the imaging window compartment; and an ultrasound transducer disposed at least partially within the imaging window compartment. The probe is a dual-modality, catheter radionuclide imaging and photoacoustic tomography (CRI-PAT) probe.
