Intravascular Imaging User Interface Systems and Methods

摘要

In part, the disclosure relates to intravascular data collections and generation of representations thereof include one or more view of regions associated with side branches or arteries such as a carina or bifurcation. In one embodiment, accessing a set of intravascular data stored in machine readable memory; performing side branch detection with regard to the intravascular data to identify one or more side branches; and identifying a plurality of frames for the one or more side branches is performed. An automatic viewing angle that is toggleable is used in one embodiment.

1. A method of detecting a region of a side branch of a blood vessel comprising:
identifying a subset of image frames that include a side branch of a blood vessel from a set of image frames of intravascular data; calculating a midpoint angle of side branch opening in each frame of the subset of image frames; calculating a median angle of the side branch opening using the midpoint angles calculated for each frame of the subset of image frames; and determining a visualization plane for viewing the side branch using the calculated median angle to allow for detection of a region associated with the side branch.
