Exemplary embodiments of method, system and computer-accessible medium can be provided for measuring certain exemplary clinical features that can direct clinical deceeeision making during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), such as, e.g., plaque burden—critical for assessing the health of a vessel and the vulnerability of a patient or plaque—and an external elastic lamina (EEL) diameter—critical for stent, balloon, and other coronary vessel modification tool sizing and positioning during PCI. Thus, it is possible to provide exemplary method, system and a computer-accessible medium using which it is possible to obtain an image of at least one section of the arterial wall, automatically detect one or more visible portions of an arterial external elastic laminae of the section(s), automatically determine or estimate one or more invisible portions of the arterial external elastic laminae based on the automatically detected visible portion(s), and automatically combine the visible and invisible portions to provide the measurement(s) of the external elastic laminae.
