Claim One:
1. A method of controlling an intravascular imaging device, the method comprising: communicating, by a computer device in communication with the intravascular imaging device, an initial control signal to an actuator of the intravascular imaging device to cause an initial oscillation of an imaging element of the intravascular imaging device across a first field-of-view angle, wherein the intravascular imaging device further includes an imaging marker; receiving an initial image from the imaging element of the intravascular device; identifying a region of the initial image as containing image data of the imaging marker; defining the region as a template representative of the imaging marker; communicating, by the computer device in communication with the intravascular imaging device, a control signal to the actuator of the intravascular imaging device to cause oscillation of the imaging element of the intravascular imaging device across a second field-of-view angle different than the first field-of-view angle; receiving imaging data from the imaging element of the intravascular imaging device; identifying the imaging marker in the imaging data by determining a correlation between the imaging data and the template representative of the imaging marker; adjusting an aspect of the control signal based on identifying the imaging marker; and communicating the adjusted control signal to the actuator of the intravascular imaging device.
