A medical imaging apparatus for performing intravascular imaging includes an imaging catheter including a probe and insertable into a vessel through a guiding catheter, the imaging catheter being configured to generate cross-sectional images of the vessel from signals, and a processor configured to: control the imaging catheter to emit the signals and acquire the cross-sectional images of the vessel therefrom, in each of first images of the acquired images, determine a first region in which the guiding catheter is potentially present, based on pixel values of the first region, determine whether the guiding catheter is present in each of the first images, determine second images of the acquired images in which the guiding catheter is not present based on the determination of whether the guiding catheter is present in each of the first images, and acquire information on the vessel using the second images.
A medical imaging apparatus for performing intravascular imaging, comprising:
A method for performing intravascular imaging using an imaging catheter that includes a probe and is insertable into a vessel through a guiding catheter, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a method for performing intravascular imaging using an imaging catheter that includes a probe and is insertable into a vessel through a guiding catheter, the method comprising:
