    • An ultrasound probe having a substantially cylindrical acoustic case for intraluminal application in an object, a method of making such a probe, and a method of focusing ultrasound are provided. The probe has a substantially cylindrical acoustic case with a central axis and an ultrasonic transducer unit positioned in the acoustic case. The ultrasonic transducer unit is rotatable about the central axis of the acoustic case to transmit or receive ultrasonic beams in a direction at an angle to the central axis. The transducer unit has a transducer for generating or receiving ultrasound, a shaft operatively connected with the transducer and having an axis substantially coincident with the central axis for rotating the transducer around the central axis, and an aspherical lens coupled with the transducer in the acoustic case to reduce the distortion by the focusing effect of the acoustic case on ultrasound. In a preferred embodiment, the aspherical shape of the aspherical lens is determined by a method including: selecting a focal point at the target area as a hypothetical source of a hypothetical beam of ultrasound, calculating the velocity potential on the transducer based on the hypothetical beam of ultrasound, and calculating the aspherical shape of the aspherical lens based on the velocity potential.

The catheter apparatus comprises an outer tubular element adapted for insertion into the vascular vessel, a rotatable inner tubular element disposed within the outer tubular element, and a non-rotating acoustic waveguide disposed within the inner tubular element and coupled to a source of an ultrasonic signal located external to the vascular vessel. The inner tubular element is rotated about an axis of the vascular vessel by use of an external driving member, such as a motor. The inner tubular element is provided with an acoustic reflecting or refracting element that directs the ultrasonic signal from a distal end of the acoustic waveguide through the outer tubular element at an angle relative to the axis of the vascular vessel. Sterile fluid disposed between the outer and inner tubular elements provides for acoustic coupling of the ultrasonic signal into the vessel, and further provides for lubrication of the rotating elements.

    • An ultrasound system and method for intravascular ultrasonic imaging includes an array of beacons that are fixed to direct ultrasonic energy toward an imaging transducer, with individual beacons being identifiable in order to determine the angular position of the imaging transducer. Based upon the data related to beacon identification, operation of the imaging device is adaptively adjusted in order to compensate for variations in angular velocity of the transducer. Adaptive compensation may be performed by adjusting the pulse repetition rate of transmitted ultrasonic energy, by adjusting the scan conversion algorithm or mapping reflected ultrasonic energy, or by varying control of the drive structure for rotating the transducer. The beacons are preferably piezoelectrically active, but passive beacons may also be used. Position identification may be performed by techniques including amplitude sensing, phase sensing, pulse length sensing, and frequency sensing. As an alternative to rotation of the transducer, ultrasonic signals may be formed at a proximal end of a probe and then conducting the energy to the distal end via a waveguide.
