Abstract
A method for measuring a balloon expansion profile in vivo is provided. The method comprises providing a balloon with at least one sensing element as a diagnostic device, where the at least one sensing element is characterized by at least one attribute that is representative of balloon dimension; measuring the at least one attribute to obtain an observed attribute value; and estimating the balloon dimension and the balloon expansion profile based on the observed attribute value. A diagnostic kit for measuring a balloon expansion profile in vivo is also provided. The diagnostic kit comprises the diagnostic device; a measurement module for measuring an observed attribute value for the attribute; and a processor module for processing the observed attribute value to estimate the balloon expansion profile as one or more outputs.
