Abstract
Despite some good experience with the rotational ultrasound-tipped catheters [7,8], this technology has limited maneuverability and depth of imaging. On the contrary, phased-array systems are very versatile and provide the whole spectrum of 2D images, including color-coded or pulsed wave Doppler. Besides, they allow adjustment of ultrasound frequency to optimize imaging quality. For all these advantages, phased-array ICE has become the dominant imaging modality in the EP laboratory.
