Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This disclosure generally relates to medical systems and methods. In one aspect of the invention, a method includes determining a fluorescent light intensity at one or more points on each of multiple recorded images, and producing an image based on the determined fluorescent light intensity at the one or more points.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: recording a first plurality of images of a region of a blood vessel; analyzing the first plurality of recorded images to determine a time at which a predetermined fluorescent light intensity was reached for each of multiple points on each of the first plurality of recorded images; and displaying a first image that represents a relative amount of time for each point of the first plurality of recorded images to reach the predetermined…
