1. A method for recording a standardized pressure representing a transient pressure event inside a region of interest with an air-charged pressure sensing catheter comprising:
inserting the air-charged catheter into the region of interest;
collecting pressure data with the air-charged catheter over a time period including the transient pressure event to provide a set of pressure data;
determining a peak pressure in the set of pressure data as the difference between a maximum pressure and a baseline pressure;
calculating the standardized pressure, representing a peak pressure that would be expected for a water-filled catheter given the determined peak pressure from the set of pressure data collected with the air-charged catheter, as a function of the determined peak pressure; and
displaying at least the standardized pressure to an operator at an associated display.
