System and method for automatically registering three dimensional cardiac images with electro-anatomical cardiac mapping data
First Claim
1. A method for automatically registering a three dimensional (3D) pre-operative image of an anatomical structure with intra-operative electrophysiological (EP) points of a 3D electro-anatomical (EA) image map of the anatomical structure, the method comprising the steps of:
- displaying the pre-operative image in a first supporting view;
displaying the intra-operative EA image map in a second supporting view;
performing an alignment of the pre-operative image with the intra-operative map by identifying at least one corresponding point on each image; and
integrating the view of the pre-operative image with the EA map based on the alignment.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically registering a three dimensional (3D) pre-operative image of an anatomical structure with intra-operative electrophysiological (EP) points of a 3D electro-anatomical (EA) image map of the anatomical structure is disclosed. The pre-operative image is displayed in a first supporting view. The intra-operative EA image map is displayed in a second supporting view. An alignment of the pre-operative image with the intra-operative map is performed by identifying at least one corresponding point on each image. The view of the pre-operative image is integrated with the EA map based on the alignment.

14. A system for automatically registering a three dimensional (3D) pre-operative image of an anatomical structure with intra-operative electrophysiological (EP) points of a 3D electro-anatomical (EA) image map of the anatomical structure, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a display for displaying the pre-operative images in a first supporting view and the intra-operative EA image maps in a second supporting view;
a processor for maintaining the pre-operative images and intra-operative EA maps of the anatomical structure, the processor performing the following steps, performing an alignment of the pre-operative image with the intra-operative map by identifying at least one corresponding point on each image; and
integrating the view of the pre-operative image with the EA map based on the alignment. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
