  • Intraluminal ultrasound imaging with automatic and assisted labels and bookmarks
    Patent number: 12611169
    Abstract: Disclosed is an intraluminal ultrasound imaging system, including a processor circuit in communication with an intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, and configured to receive a plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images from the imaging catheter during movement of the imaging catheter within a body lumen of a patient, the body lumen comprising a plurality of segments. The processor circuit is further configured to generate a marker to be applied to an intraluminal ultrasound image of the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images, wherein the marker is generated based on the movement of the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, and wherein the marker is representative of a segment of the plurality of segments, and output to a display the marker and the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images shown successively.
