Devices and methods of the invention generally relate to a shortened distal tip for use with intraluminal imaging devices. In certain aspects, an intraluminal device of the invention includes a body and a tip member. The body utilizes an imaging element located on a distal end of the body, in which the imaging element is configured to image an object within a forward plane extending beyond the distal end of the body. A tip member is coupled to the distal end of the body and sized to fit at least between the forward plane and the distal end. |
