    • A system and method is provided for using a first vascular (20) image, or more particularly a plurality of control points (22) located thereon, to identify a border (64) on a second vascular image. Embodiments of the present invention operate in accordance with an intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS) device and a computing device electrically connected thereto. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, an IVUS console is electrically connected to a computing device and adapted to acquire IVUS data. The IVUS data (or multiple sets thereof) is then provided to (or acquired by) the computing device (120). In one embodiment of the present invention, the computing device includes a plurality of applications operating thereon -- i.e., a border-detection application (122), an extrapolation application (124), and an active-contour application (126). These applications are used to (i) identify a border and control points on a first IVUS image (i.e., any IVUS image), (ii) extrapolate the control points to a second IVUS image (i.e., another IVUS image), (iii) identify a border on the second IVUS image, and (iv) adjust the border on the second IVUS image in accordance with at least one factor. In one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one factor is selected from a group consisting of gradient factor, continuity factor, and curvature factor.

    • A system and method is provided for using backscattered data and known parameters to characterize vascular tissue. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, an ultrasonic device (120) is used to acquire RF backscattered data (i.e., IVUS data) from a blood vessel. The IVUS data is then transmitted to a computing device (130) and used to create an IVUS image. The blood vessel is then cross-sectioned and used to identify its tissue type and to create a corresponding image (i.e., histology image). A region of interest (ROI), preferably corresponding to the identified tissue type, is then identified on the histology image. The computing device (130), or more particularly, a characterization application (132) operating thereon, is then adapted to identify a corresponding region on the IVUS image. To accurately match the ROI, however, it may be necessary to warp or morph the histology image to substantially fit the contour of the IVUS image. After the corresponding region is identified, the IVUS data that corresponds to this region is identified. Signal processing is then performed and at least one parameter is identified. The identified parameter and the tissue type (e.g., characterization data) is stored in a database (134).
    • 提供了一种使用背散射数据和已知参数来表征血管组织的系统和方法。 具体地,在本发明的一个实施例中,使用超声波装置(120)从血管获取RF背散射数据(即,IVUS数据)。 然后将IVUS数据传送到计算设备(130)并用于创建IVUS图像。 然后将血管切片并用于识别其组织类型并产生相应的图像(即,组织学图像)。 然后在组织学图像上识别优选对应于所识别的组织类型的感兴趣区域(ROI)。 然后,计算设备(130),或更具体地,在其上操作的特征应用(132))适于识别IVUS图像上的相应区域。 然而,为了精确地匹配ROI,可能需要使组织学图像变形或变形以基本上适合IVUS图像的轮廓。 识别对应区域后,识别与该区域对应的IVUS数据。 然后执行信号处理,并且识别至少一个参数。 所识别的参数和组织类型(例如表征数据)被存储在数据库(134)中。
