Abstract
A co-registration system includes a processor circuit that generates and displays a first co-registration reliability indicator based on the status of an x-ray imaging device and a second co-registration reliability indicator based on the speed of an intravascular catheter/guidewire. The processor circuit receives, from the x-ray imaging device, x-ray images of a blood vessel while the intravascular catheter/guidewire moves through the blood vessel. The processor circuit receives, from the catheter/guidewire, intravascular data representative of the blood vessel while the catheter/guidewire moves through the blood vessel. The processor circuit co-registers the intravascular data to an x-ray image received from the x-ray imaging device. The processor circuit also receives a signal representative of an inactive status of the x-ray imaging device during the movement of the catheter/guidewire. The processor circuit then displays the first reliability indicator representative of the x-ray fluoroscopy device status and may indicate that co-registration is not possible. The processor circuit also determines a speed of the catheter/guidewire and displays a second indicator representative of the speed of the catheter/guidewire being too fast for reliable co-registration.
