In part, the disclosure relates to systems and methods of detecting struts in a blood vessel. In one embodiment, an intravascular data collection system and an intravascular data collection probe are used. An exemplary method may include one or more of the following steps converting an image of a blood vessel into an image mask, the image includes struts of a bioresorbable scaffold； inverting the image mask to create an inverted image mask, detecting an insular group of bright/signal containing pixels； and filtering the insular group of bright/signal containing pixels using one or more morphological filters to identify candidate struts； and validating the candidate struts to identify one or more struts of the bioresorbable scaffold.
