Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a medicinal imaging procedure utilizing a specially designed catheter with a miniaturized ultrasound test joined to the distal end of the catheter. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) utilizes a transducer or probe to generate sound waves and create a pictures of blood vessels. Intravascular ultrasound is mostly used to evaluate the coronary arteries to determine the amount of the atheromatous plaque built up at any particular point in the epicardial coronary artery. IIVUS can shows the entire artery wall from the inside-out  and provide important information about the build-up of plaque, which can help determine if a person is  at risk for heart attack.  IVUS is most often used to visualize the coronary arteries in conjunction with or to help plan for catheter angiography or angioplasty and vascular stenting.

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Market Outlook

Major factors driving the growth of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Market include increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases coupled with the government and private funding for R&D in ultrasound imaging and the technological advancements in image guided therapeutic treatment. According to World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of deaths across the world. In the year 2016, around 18 million people died of cardiovascular diseases globally, accounting for almost 31% of total global deaths.  This can be prevented if these diseases are diagnosed on time with the assistance of various methodologies including intravascular ultrasound framework.   The significant contribution to medical diagnostics and the ease of use have created a huge demand, and therefore, attracted various funding bodies to invest, which is anticipated to increase in the coming years. However, the high cost of IVUS, and stringent regulation for product approval are the factors that acts as challenge to the growth of the market.
