    Abstract: In part, the disclosure relates to intravascular data collections and generation of representations thereof include one or more view of regions associated with side branches or arteries such as a carina or bifurcation. In one embodiment, accessing a set of intravascular data stored in machine readable memory; performing side branch detection with regard to the intravascular data to identify one or more side branches; and identifying a plurality of frames for the one or more side branches is performed. An automatic viewing angle that is toggleable is used in one embodiment.

    Abstract: The invention provides a frictional torque limiter assembly for an imaging core spinning in a patient's body. The torque limiter assembly torsionally isolates the imaging core from a motor that spins the imaging core. An interference fit between a slitted drive tube and a spacer tube acts as a clutch that allows a spinning imaging probe to slow or stop relative to the motor until the motor is stopped, thereby preventing an unsafe condition.

    Abstract: In part, the disclosure relates to shadow detection and shadow validation relative to data sets obtained from an intravascular imaging data collection session. The methods can use locally adaptive thresholds and scan line level analysis relative to candidate shadow regions to determine a set of candidate shadows for validation or rejection. In one embodiment, the shadows are stent strut shadows, guidewire shadows, side branch shadows or other shadows.
