System and method for controlling x-ray frame rate of an imaging system

A catheter procedure system comprising:

• at least one drive mechanism coupled to at least one of a first percutaneous device and a second percutaneous device;
• and
• a controller programmed to:
• generate a first control signal that indicates a first frame rate;
• determine at least one parameter of a catheter procedure performed by the catheter procedure system;
• generate a second control signal based on the at least one parameter of the catheter procedure, the second control signal indicating a second frame rate;
• and
• adjust the first frame rate to the second frame rate, and
• wherein the at least one parameter of the catheter procedure is an indication of whether an end of the first percutaneous device is located within the second percutaneous device.

A method for controlling an imaging system for a catheter procedure system, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one image from the imaging system, the at least one image acquired at a first frame rate;
• determining, based on the at least one received image, that an end of a first percutaneous device is located within a second percutaneous device;
• and
• providing a control signal to the imaging system to adjust the first frame rate to a second frame rate in response to determining that the end of the first percutaneous device is located within the second percutaneous device.
