Abstract

Intravascular ultrasound provides detailed information on vessel wall and plaque morphology. This report illustrates the use of three-dimensional volumetric IVUS reconstruction images to characterize different patterns of plaque morphology, including vulnerable and ruptured plaques, within a single coronary artery in a patient with unstable angina.
