Abstract
Intravascular imaging systems and methods for making and using intravascular imaging devices are disclosed. An example intravascular imaging device may comprise a catheter including an imaging device. A processor may be coupled to the catheter. The processor may be configured to process image data received from the imaging device. The processor may be configured to generate a calcium map. The calcium map may include an indicator of calcium depth to a vessel lumen surface, calcium distance to a center of the catheter, or both. A display unit may be coupled to the processor. The display unit may be configured to show a display including the calcium map.
