AB  - Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the characteristics of high resolution and fast imaging speed. Continuous images of the same section of the same vessel can reflect the deformation characteristics of the vessel wall under different blood pressure. Digital image processing may be used to segment various structures on the vascular wall and extract the deformation incorporating with biomechanical analysis. Image filtering plays a very important role in image processing. Median filter was used to filter salt and pepper noise in OCT images. Fuzzy function gray processing method was used to suppress irrelevant information and improve image clarity. Dividing point and line method was proposed to calculate the deformation and strain field.
