Abstract

See full text

The invention provides an ultrasound data processing method (30) for detecting presence of an intravascular object in a vessel lumen based on analysis of acquired intravascular ultrasound data of the lumen. The method comprises receiving (32) data comprising multiple frames, and each frame containing data for a plurality of radial lines, corresponding to different circumferential positions around the IVUS device body, and reducing (34) the data to a single representative value for each radial line in each frame. These representative values are subsequently processed to derive (36) values for at least each frame representative of a probability of presence of an object within the given frame. Based on the probability values, a region within the data occupied by an intravascular object, for instance a consecutive set of frames occupied by an object, is determined (38).
