Abstract
An intraluminal imaging system is provided. The intraluminal imaging system includes a patient interface module (PIM) in communication with an intraluminal device comprising an ultrasound imaging component and positioned within a body lumen of a patient, a wireless router via an signal link, and a computing device in wireless communication with the wireless router, wherein the PIM comprises a processing component configured to receive an ultrasound echo signal from the ultrasound imaging component; and determine image data based on at least the ultrasound echo signal; and a power and communication component configured to receive power from the signal link; and transmit, to the computing device via the signal link and the wireless router, the image data.
