| Research Abstract |
We assessed coronary artery plaque tissue characterization used Intra Vascular Ultrasound (IVUS) radio frequency (RF) signal. Patients coronary artery RF signal that implanted coronary STENT, using wavelet transform, we searched STENT RF signal for reconstructed coronary artery plaque RF signal. This method decrease the noise of signal, but smaller than plaque difference.
We used wavelet transform for coronary artery plaque, RF signal and calculated wavelet coefficient. This method compared to the conventional method of integral backscatter (IB) method. IVUS image that reconstructed wavelet coefficient, the noise of image is smaller than IB method. And new tissue character recognizes the wavelet method image.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who practiced reperfusion therapy, we exsamined myocardial tissue characterization using RF chaos method, the culprit lesion of myocardial, the correlation dimension is smaller than not culprit lesion of myocardial.
If the heart function recovers the correlation dimensions are almost equal.
