Kits Including 3-D Ultrasound Imaging Catheters, Connectable Deployable Tools and Deployment Devices for Use in Deployment of Such Tools.

摘要

A kit for use in ultrasound imaging can include a deployment device configured for partial insertion in vivo, a 3-D imaging catheter, moveably coupled to the deployment device including a 2D ultrasound transducer phased array mounted thereon and configured to provide 3-D images, and a deployable tool coupled to the 3-D imaging catheter and configured to move in vivo in response to guidance thereof via the deployment device using the 3-D images.
