The inventive method requires advancing a three-dimensional imaging balloon catheter to the site of a lesion to be imaged, inflating or molding the balloon to image the lesion, deflating the balloon, withdrawing the catheter from the body lumen and re-inflating the balloon which reassumes its memorized shape. Stress and thermal mapping of the balloon is then done by direct observation or by numerical analysis of the material strain and color of the re-inflated 3D imaging balloon.
