IVUS scan

Gain deeper insights to guide treatment decisions.
Get inside with IVUS.

From vessel size to plaque morphology and geometry to guidewire position, IVUS gets you inside the vessel to acquire precise information not apparent from angiography alone. Allowing you to consistently see clearly and treat optimally.
