About

Volcano Corporation was a medical device company based in San Diego, California, known for its expertise in intravascular imaging and physiology assessment technologies. The company specialized in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), which provide detailed images and functional measurements from within blood vessels. These technologies are essential for diagnosing and treating coronary artery and peripheral vascular diseases. Volcano developed and sold imaging consoles, disposable catheters, and peripheral therapeutic devices, contributing significantly to minimally invasive procedures in cardiovascular care. Founded with a strong emphasis on innovation and precision engineering, Volcano served a diverse customer base, including hospitals, cardiology clinics, and interventional specialists worldwide. In February 2015, Volcano was acquired by Royal Philips for $1.2 billion, integrating its advanced imaging technologies into Philips’ Image-Guided Therapy business and enhancing their offerings in minimally invasive cardiovascular care.
