An apparatus including: an imaging system; a probe for insertion into a vessel, the probe being coupled to the imaging system; a flow delivery system associated with the probe to release a differential-contrast fluid into the vessel at a location proximal to an end of the probe; and a processor to: collect data from the imaging system based on release of the differential-contrast fluid into the vessel, analyze the collected data to identify a presence or absence of the differential-contrast fluid as a function of time, and determine a flow rate in the vessel based on analyzing the collected data.
