摘要：
A system and method is provided for using backscattered data and known parameters to characterize vascular tissue. IVUS data is transmitted to a computing device and used to create an IVUS image. The blood vessel is then cross-sectioned and used to identify its tissue type and to create a corresponding image (i.e., histology image). A region of interest (ROI) is then identified on the histology image. The computing device identifies a corresponding region on the IVUS image. After the corresponding region is identified, the IVUS data that corresponds to this region is identified. Signal processing is then performed and at least one parameter is identified. The identified parameter and the tissue type is stored in a database. In another embodiment of the present invention, the characterization application is adapted to use the parameters stored in the database to identify a tissue type or a characterization thereof.
