Abstract
An intraluminal ultrasound imaging system is provided, which includes a processor in communication with an intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter. The processor is configured to receive an intraluminal ultrasound image associated with a first segment of the body lumen from which the image was captured, which includes depictions of the body lumen and a second body lumen. The processor receives a second image obtained while the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter is moving at a pullback speed within the body lumen. The second image also includes depictions of the body lumen and the second body lumen. The processor computes body lumen properties from each image, and determines a second segment of the body lumen for the second image, based on a model associated with the body lumen properties, and/or the pullback speed, and outputs an indication of the second segment to a display.
