    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.
