摘要

In various embodiments, the system is directed to methods, devices, and systems for detecting, measuring, and assessing body duct compliance. In another embodiment, the methods, apparatus, and systems detect, measure, determine, display, and / or interpret compliance of body ducts and / or lesions in body ducts. In any embodiment, sensing, measuring, determining, displaying, and / or interpreting can be performed before, during, and / or after surgery is performed in the body tract.
