Claims12
An integrated system comprising:
- a catheter configured to be disposed within a patient positioned on a bed;
- a rotating intravascular imaging probe configured to fit within the catheter, wherein the intravascular imaging probe is configured to be disposed within the patient;
- and
- an interface module comprising:
- a housing configured to be positioned on the bed;
- a motor that drives rotation of the intravascular imaging probe;
- and
- a digitizer configured to digitize and compress image data, wherein the motor and the digitizer are disposed within the housing of the interface module, wherein the rotating intravascular imaging probe is directly connected to the interface module;
- and
- a mobile console that is remote from the bed, the mobile console comprising:
- at least one mobile transport device;
- a central processing unit (CPU) component configured to receive and decompress the digitized image data from the interface module;
- and
- a display;
- and
- a connector cable extending between the mobile console and the interface module,
- wherein the interface module comprises a light source, a photodetector, and a spectrometer or an interferometer including a sample path and a reference path.
