Determination and visualization of anatomical landmarks for intraluminal lesion assessment and treatment planning

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured for communication with an intravascular imaging catheter, wherein the processor configured to:
• receive imaging data from the intravascular imaging catheter as the intravascular imaging catheter is moved through a length of a blood vessel;
• generate, based on the imaging data, a plurality of transverse views along the length of the blood vessel and a longitudinal view of the blood vessel;
• determine, based on the imaging data, a plurality of measurements associated with the blood vessel;
• determine, based on the plurality of measurements, a first location along the length of the blood vessel that is associated with a minimum lumen area;
• and
• output, to a display in communication with the processor, a single screen comprising:
• the longitudinal view of the blood vessel;
• one or more markers overlaid on the longitudinal view;
• a transverse view area;
• and
• a first area for the plurality of measurements,
• wherein the one or more markers comprise a first marker identifying the first location,
• wherein the transverse view area comprises a first transverse view of the plurality of transverse views that depicts the first location, and
• wherein the first area for the plurality of measurements comprises at least one of:
• a numerical value of the minimum lumen area;
• or
• a numerical value of a diameter associated with the blood vessel.
