Zusammenfassung:A system includes a processor circuit that receives the IVUS imaging data from the IVUS imaging catheter. The processor circuit identifies calcium based on the IVUS imaging data. The processor circuit determines, based on the identification of the calcium, at least one of: a distance between the calcium and the lumen border; or a density of the calcium relative to the tissue. The processor circuit outputs a screen display to a display in communication with the processor circuit. The screen display includes an IVUS image generated based on the IVUS imaging data; and at least one of: a visual representation of the distance; or a visual representation of the density.
