System, method and computer-accessible medium for tracking vessel motion during three-dimensional coronary artery microscopy
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining at least one characteristic of a structure, comprising:
- at least one transceiver first arrangement which is structured to provide at least one first transmitted radiation along a first axis and at least one second transmitted radiation along a second axis, wherein the first and second transmitted radiations impact the structure and generate respective first and second returned radiation, and wherein the first and second axes are provided at a predetermined angle with respect with one another which is greater than 0;
at least one computer second arrangement which is configured to receive data associated with the first and second returned radiation, and determine at least one relative velocity between the structure and the at least one first arrangement; and
at least one imaging third arrangement which is configured to generate at least one image of at least one portion of the structure as a function of the at least one relative velocity.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of apparatus, method and computer accessible medium can be provided which can facilitate a determination of at least one characteristic of a structure. For example, it is possible to use at least one first arrangement which can be structured to provide at least one first transmitted radiation along a first axis and at least one second transmitted radiation along a second axis. The first and second transmitted radiations can impact the structure and generate respective first and second returned radiation. The first and second axis can be provided at a predetermined angle with respect with one another which is greater than 0. Further, at least one second arrangement can be provided which can be configured to receive data associated with the first and second returned radiations, and determine at least one relative velocity between the structure and the first arrangement along the first and second axes.
