Publication number: 20240115141Abstract: A method and apparatus of automatically locating in an image of a blood vessel the lumen boundary at a position in the vessel and from that measuring the diameter of the vessel. From the diameter of the vessel and estimated blood flow rate, a number of clinically significant physiological parameters are then determined and various user displays of interest generated. One use of these images and parameters is to aid the clinician in the placement of a stent. The system, in one embodiment, uses these measurements to allow the clinician to simulate the placement of a stent and to determine the effect of the placement. In addition, from these patient parameters various patient treatments are then performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: LightLab Imaging, Inc,Inventors: Joseph M. Schmitt, Joel M. Friedman, Christopher Petroff, Amr Elbasiony

Patent number: 11435233Abstract: In part, the invention relates to systems and methods of calibrating a plurality of frames generated with respect to a blood vessel as a result of a pullback of an intravascular imaging probe being pullback through the vessel. A calibration feature disposed in the frames that changes between a subset of the frames can be used to perform calibration. Calibration can be performed post-pullback. Various filters and image processing techniques can be used to identify one or more feature in the frames including, without limitation, a calibration feature, a guidewire, a side branch, a stent strut, a lumen of the blood vessel, and other features. The feature can be displayed using a graphic user interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: LightLab Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Joel M. Friedman, Amr Elbasiony
