An apparatus and method of assessing a narrowing in a fluid filled tube having a fluid flow pressure wave having a backward-originating pressure component and a forward-originating pressure component without taking a flow velocity measurement, comprising: taking pressure measurements in the tube; separating the pressure components into the backward-originating pressure component and the forward-originating pressure component; identifying a time window when the differential of flow velocity (dU) is minimal or absent; and deriving the backward and forward pressure components for pressure measurements taken in at least the time window.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are configured to assess the severity of a blockage in a vessel and, in particular, a stenosis in a blood vessel. In some particular embodiments, the devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are configured to assess the severity of a stenosis in the coronary arteries without the administration of a hyperemic agent.

Apparatus and method of assessing a narrowing in a fluid filled tube

A system to detect a medical device within a biological subject, the system comprising: an imaging system operable to generate image data derived from the biological subject and image data derived from the medical device; and a processor operable to detect the medical device and evaluate the image data derived from the medical device to identify the nature of the medical device. Further, a system to match a signature from a detected medical device within a biological subject with signature information held in a databank for a plurality of medical devices, the databank also holding specification information corresponding to the plurality of medical devices, the system being operable to match a signature relating to a detected medical device with signature information held in the databank and to provide some or all of the specification information for the matched signature to identify the nature of the medical device.
