With intravascular ultrasound, high resolution cross-sectional images of arterial walls can be obtained. By pulling a catheter through the artery in the axial direction and stacking consecutive cross-sectional images, a three-dimensional image is obtained. However, cardiac and respiratory motion, combined with a high pull-back rate and a narrow axial radiation pattern, result in poor axial resolution and significant image distortion.
