<p>A method of performing an intravascular imaging procedure includes inserting an imager at a first end of a survey region of patient vasculature to be imaged. The survey region is imaged to obtain a set of first images while pulling back the imager from the first end of the survey region to a second end of the survey region opposite the first end. The imager is pulled back at a first linear rate of pullback. The imager is positioned at a first end of a region of interest determined within the survey region. The region of interest is imaged to obtain a set of second images. The region of interest is imaged while pulling back the imager at a second linear rate of pullback that is less than the first linear rate of pullback. At least a portion of the set of second images is displayed.</p> |
