Abstract:
Disclosed is an intraluminal ultrasound imaging system, including a processor circuit in communication with an intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, wherein the processor circuit is configured to receive a plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images obtained by the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter during movement of the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter within a body lumen of a patient. The processor circuit is further configured to select an image from among the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images, generate at least two border contours associated with the lumen within the selected image, display the border contours associated with the lumen, each overlaid on a separate instance of the selected image, receive a user input selecting one of the border contours; and display the selected image overlaid with the selected border contour.
