1. Introduction Turbo Intravascular Ultrasound refers to a high-speed, high-resolution catheter-based imaging technique used to visualize coronary or peripheral arteries from within. The term “turbo” denotes rapid pullback speeds (e.g., 10–40 mm/s compared to standard 0.5–1 mm/s) and automated data processing. When paired with physiological parameters (IVP), it combines anatomy (plaque burden, lumen area) with function (fractional flow reserve, flow velocity). 2. Technology Overview | Feature | Standard IVUS | Turbo IVP | |---------|--------------|------------| | Pullback speed | 0.5–1 mm/s | 10–40 mm/s | | Scan length (100 mm) | ~2–3 min | 2–10 sec | | Image acquisition | Manual/stepwise | Automated continuous | | Co-registration | No | Yes (with angiography/physiology) | | Primary use | Plaque morphology | Rapid lesion assessment + physiology mapping |
