1. A method of a detecting a guide catheter disposed in a lumen of a blood vessel, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, intravascular data of the blood vessel collected during a pullback of an intravascular imaging device through the blood vessel, wherein the intravascular data comprises a plurality of frames having corresponding frame numbers;
determining, by the one or more processors based on the intravascular data, a plurality of measured diameter values of the lumen of the blood vessel on a per frame basis;
detecting, by the one or more processors, from the plurality of frames, adjacent frames that have a deviation in the diameter values of the lumen of the blood vessel;
identifying, by the one or more processors, a frame from the detected adjacent frames having a higher frame number as a guide catheter containing frame;
excluding, by the one or more processors, the identified guide catheter containing frame from the plurality of frames received by an intravascular data processing module; and
processing, by the one or more processors using the intravascular data processing module, the remaining frames of the plurality of frames.
