Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided for automatically adjusting the scale or magnification of an intraluminal image on a display of an intraluminal imaging system based on a measured or computed size of the vessel. For example, a system may include a processor configured to receive, from an intraluminal imaging catheter or guidewire, a first intraluminal image of a body lumen, and compute a dimension of an anatomical feature of the body lumen based on the first intraluminal image. The processor computes a scaling factor for the first intraluminal image based on the dimension of the body lumen, scales the first intraluminal image by the scaling factor, and outputs the scaled first intraluminal image to a display in communication with the processor circuit.
