Integrated system architectures and methods of use

A system, comprising:

• an intravascular imaging probe configured to obtain image data while disposed inside a vessel of a patient positioned on a bed;
• an interface module configured to be directly connected to the intravascular imaging probe, wherein the interface module comprises a housing configured to be positioned on the bed, wherein the interface module is configured to perform first processing of the image data within the housing, wherein the first processing comprises:
• at least one of amplification or filtering of analog electrical signals representative of the image data;
• conversion of the analog electrical signals to digital electrical signals;
• and
• preparation of the digital electrical signals for transfer via a connector cable;
• a mobile console configured to be remote from the bed, wherein the mobile console comprises:
• a mobile transport device;
• a display;
• and
• a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
• receive the digital electrical signals;
• perform second processing of the digital electrical signals;
• and
• display an image based on the second processing on the display;
• and
• the connector cable, wherein the connector cable extends between the mobile console and the interface module.
