Patent Images
1. A method for mapping a structure in a body of a subject, comprising:
- capturing a three-dimensional (3D) image of the structure comprising diagnostic information;
providing a probe having a position sensor for determining position and orientation information of the probe;
generating a 3D geometrical map of the structure using a probe inserted into the structure and using the position sensor of the probe by contacting the probe with multiple points on the structure, each point having position and orientation information associated therewith and defined as a map point on the map;
registering the image with the map, such that each of a plurality of image points in the image is identified with a corresponding map point in the map by performing a bullseye rendition of a stack of parallel slices of the image; and
displaying the map, such that the diagnostic information associated with each of the image points is displayed at the corresponding map point.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for mapping a structure in a body of a subject includes capturing a three-dimensional (3D) image of the structure comprising diagnostic information, and generating a 3D geometrical map of the structure using a probe inserted into the structure. The image is registered with the map, such that each of a plurality of image points in the image is identified with a corresponding map point in the map. The map is displayed such that the diagnostic information associated with each of the image points is displayed at the corresponding map point.

21. Apparatus for mapping a structure in a body of a subject, comprising:
-
an imaging device, adapted to capture a three-dimensional (3D) image of the structure comprising diagnostic information;
a probe having a position sensor for determining position and orientation information of the probe and adapted to be inserted into the structure, so as to generate a 3D geometrical map of the structure based on position and orientation information using the position sensor;
a processor, coupled to the probe and to the imaging device, and adapted to register the 3D image with the 3D geometrical map by performing a bullseye rendition of a stack of parallel slices of the 3D image, such that each of a plurality of image points in the 3D image is identified with a corresponding map point in the 3D geometrical map; and
a display, coupled to be driven by the processor to display the 3D geometrical map, such that the diagnostic information associated with each of the image points is displayed at the corresponding map point. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
