1. A method for three-dimensionally mapping a volume within a region of interest (ROI) located within a body, comprising the steps of:

  • tracking the position of an invasive medical device within said ROI in real-time, said tracking step comprising the substeps of;

    computing a contour for said medical device as a function of at least one of a shape constraint and a positional constraint; and

    translating said contour into a plurality of three-dimensional positions wherein said plurality of three-dimensional positions include both known and virtual positions based on said at least one of said shape and positional constraints;

    determining a real-time spatial volume based on at least one of said virtual three-dimensional positions; and

    rendering a real-time three-dimensional graphical representation of said spatial volume.
