Device and methods for detecting vulnerable plaque within a blood vessel are disclosed. A system in accordance with the present invention includes a first wire (102) having a distal end coupled to a voltage source (140) and a proximal end coupled to an instrument capable of measuring voltage. A distal end of a second (104) wire is also coupled to the voltage source (140) and a proximal end of the second wire is coupled to the instrument. The amplitude of the electromotive force produced by the voltage source preferably varies with the temperature of a tissue proximate the voltage source.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et des méthodes de détection d'une plaque vulnérable dans un vaisseau sanguin. La présente invention concerne également un système pourvu d'un premier fil (102) comprenant une extrémité distale couplée à une source (140) de tension et une extrémité proximale couplée à un instrument pouvant mesurer la tension. Une extrémité distale d'un second fil (104) est également couplée à la source (140) de tension et une extrémité proximale du second fil est couplée à l'instrument. L'amplitude de la force électromotrice générée par la source de tension varie, de préférence, avec la température d'un tissu près de la source de tension.
