Patent Images
1. A method for planning atrial fibrillation (AF) intervention for a patient, the method comprising:
- obtaining acquisition data from a medical imaging system;
generating a 3D model of the left atrium and pulmonary veins of the patient;
identifying one or more left atrial (LA) and pulmonary vein (PV) anatomical landmarks on said 3D model;
registering saved views of said 3D model on an interventional system; and
visualizing one or more of said registered saved views with said interventional system.

Abstract
A method for planning atrial fibrillation (AF) intervention for a patient includes obtaining acquisition data from a medical imaging system, and generating a 3D model of the left atrium and pulmonary veins of the patient. One or more left atrial anatomical landmarks are identified on the 3D model, and saved views of the 3D model are registered on an interventional system. One or more of the registered saved views are visualized with the interventional system.
