Abstract

A multifunctional invasive cardiovascular diagnostic measurement host is disclosed that interfaces a variety of sensor devices, such as guide wire-mounted pressure sensors, flow sensors, temperature sensors, etc, and provides a multi-Mode graphical user interface providing a plurality of displays in accordance with the various types of sensors and measurements rendered by the sensors.

Claims

1. An intravascular sensing system, comprising:

a touch screen display; and

a computing device in communication with the touch screen display, wherein the computing device is operable to;

receive first intravascular data obtained by a first intravascular physiologic sensor coupled to a flexible elongate member positioned within a vessel of a patient, wherein the first intravascular data comprises intravascular physiological data;

display, with the touch screen display, a first display mode option and a second display mode option, the first display mode being different from the second display mode;

receive a first touch input from a user on the touch screen display, the first touch input selecting the first display mode option;

output, to the touch screen display, a first graphical representation of the first intravascular data in the first display mode;

receive a second touch input from the user on the touch screen display, the second touch input selecting an intravascular measurement associated with the first intravascular data and the first display mode option on the touch screen display; and

output, to the touch screen display based on the received second touch input from the user, a graphical representation of the selected intravascular measurement in the first display mode.

2. The intravascular sensing system of claim 1, further comprising a second intravascular physiologic sensor.

3. The intravascular sensing system of claim 2, wherein the computing device is further operable to:

receive second intravascular data obtained by the second intravascular physiologic sensor,

output, to the touch screen display, a second graphical representation of the second intravascular data.

4. The intravascular sensing system of claim 3, wherein the computing device is further operable to receive a third touch input from the user on the touch screen display, the third touch input selecting an intravascular measurement associated with either the first intravascular data or the second intravascular data;

and

output, to the touch screen display based on the received third touch input from the user, a graphical representation of the selected intravascular measurement.

5. The intravascular sensing system of claim 3, wherein the computing device is further operable to receive a third touch input from the user on the touch screen display, the third touch input selecting an intravascular measurement associated with both the first intravascular data and the second intravascular data;

and

output, to the touch screen display based on the received third touch input from the user, a graphical representation of the selected intravascular measurement.

6. The intravascular sensing system of claim 3, wherein the computing device is further operable to toggle between the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation in response to a user input.

7. The intravascular sensing system of claim 6, wherein the touch screen display includes a user input option to toggle between the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation.

8. The intravascular sensing system of claim 3, wherein the second intravascular data comprises at least one of intravascular pressure data or intravascular flow data.

9. The intravascular sensing system of claim 1, wherein the first intravascular data comprises at least one of intravascular pressure data or intravascular flow data.

10. The intravascular sensing system of claim 1, wherein the computing device is further operable to receive a third touch input from the user selecting the second display mode option on the touch screen display.

11. The intravascular sensing system of claim 1, wherein the touch screen display is configured to display the first graphical representation of the first intravascular data in the second display mode.

12. The intravascular sensing system of claim 1, wherein the first display mode and the second display mode are associated with different intravascular sensor types.

13. The intravascular sensing system of claim 1, wherein the computing device is further operable to:

receive second intravascular data obtained by an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) sensor,

output, to the touch screen display, a second graphical representation of the second intravascular data.
