Abstract
An intravascular therapy guidance system includes a processor circuit in communication with an extravascular imaging device. The processor circuit receives, from the extravascular imaging device, an extravascular image stream. The processor circuit determines a therapy region of a blood vessel in the extravascular image stream and outputs a screen display to a display in communication with processor circuit. The screen display includes the extravascular image stream of the blood vessel including movement of an intravascular therapy device within the blood vessel to deliver an intravascular therapy to the therapy region and a graphical representation of the therapy region overlaid on the extravascular image stream. The processor circuit determines, based on the extravascular image stream, whether the intravascular therapy device is aligned relative to the therapy region to deliver the intravascular therapy and modifies the screen display to indicate whether the intravascular therapy device is aligned to deliver the intravascular therapy.
