This thesis deals with the technology of intravascular ultrasound (US) imaging systems, and in particular with systems applying mechanical scanning, In these systems an ultrasonic beam, originating from a catheter-tip, is rotated by mechanical means. in order to produce an ultrasonic scan of the surrounding of the catheter-tip, Being positioned in a blood-vessel, a cross-sectional echo-image of the vessel can be displayed, showing e,g, an obstruction,
