One or more devices, systems, methods and storage mediums for performing calibration (
ex vivo and / or
in vivo), sheath detection, and / or performing
intravascular imaging and / or
optical coherence tomography (OCT) while detecting and / or characterizing one or more tissues are provided. Examples of applications include imaging, evaluating and diagnosing
biological objects, such as, but not limited to, for
Gastro-intestinal, cardio and / or ophthalmic applications, and being obtained via one or more optical instruments, such as, but not limited to, optical probes, catheters, capsules and needles (e.g., a
biopsy needle). Preferably, the
intravascular imaging devices, systems, methods, and storage mediums involve calibration and / or sheath detection feature(s) and / or include or involve a method, such as, but not limited to, using one or more images to detect and / or characterize the one or more tissues and / or to perform coregistration. Calibrated (
ex vivo and / or
in vivo) catheters or probes, devices, or systems may be used for improved imaging.
