Abstract
The present disclosure provides to generate a graphical user interface to visually depict stents detected from intravascular image frames and to provide for navigating between multiple detected stents via the GUI to select one of the depicted stents for interrogation. Further, the disclosure provides to update the GUI to depict assessments for the selected stent.
Claims20
An apparatus for an intravascular imaging system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processor, which instructions when executed cause the processor to:
- receive a series of intravascular image (IVI) frames captured along a section of a cardiac artery of a patient where at least a first stent and a second stent are disposed in the section of the cardiac artery;
- receive an indication of the first stent and the second stent detected from the IVI frames;
- generate a plurality of graphical indications, wherein the plurality of graphical indications comprises indications of the section of the cardiac artery based in part on the IVI frames, the first stent, and the second stent;
- and
- send one or more information elements to a display to cause the display to display the graphical indications as part of a graphical user interface (GUI).
At least one machine readable storage device, comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by a processor of an intravascular imaging (IVI) system cause the processor to:
- receive a series of intravascular image (IVI) frames captured along a section of a cardiac artery of a patient where at least a first stent and a second stent are disposed in the section of the cardiac artery;
- receive an indication of the first stent and the second stent detected from the IVI frames;
- generate a plurality of graphical indications, wherein the plurality of graphical indications comprises indications of the section of the cardiac artery based in part on the IVI frames, the first stent, and the second stent;
- and
- send one or more information elements to a display to cause the display to display the graphical indications as part of a graphical user interface (GUI).
A computer-implemented method for an intravascular image navigation system, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, a series of intravascular image (IVI) frames captured along a section of a cardiac artery of a patient where at least a first stent and a second stent are disposed in the section of the cardiac artery;
- receiving, at a processor, an indication of the first stent and the second stent detected from the IVI frames;
- generating, by the processor, a plurality of graphical indications, wherein the plurality of graphical indications comprises indications of the section of the cardiac artery based in part on the IVI frames, the first stent, and the second stent;
- and
- sending, by the processor, one or more information elements to a display to cause the display to display the graphical indications as part of a graphical user interface (GUI).
