In order to facilitate doctors to better obtain cardiovascular images by using intravascular ultrasound imaging system and make a more accurate diagnosis, a digital coordinate conversion method of intravascular ultrasound imaging system based on CORDIC algorithm is proposed, it converts polar coordinates into rectangular coordinates through angular rotation and orientation calculation. The experimental simulation test is carried out on the platform of intravascular ultrasound imaging system by FPGA. Experimental simulation shows that, CORDIC algorithm can effectively output sine and cosine values, compared with the traditional table finding method, this algorithm has faster speed, stronger real-time performance and needs less hardware resources. It is more suitable for intravascular ultrasound imaging system.
