Method and system to characterize motion data based on neighboring map points
First Claim
1. A method for characterizing motion data collected by a cardiovascular navigation system, the method comprising:
- obtaining point specific (PS) motion data for a plurality of map points, wherein the PS motion data indicates an amount of motion that occurred at the corresponding map point on a wall of the heart during at least one cardiac cycle;
calculating mechanical activation times (MAT) for the map points based on the PS motion data;
identifying a group of neighboring map points for a current map point;
modifying the MAT corresponding to the current map point based on the MATs corresponding to at least a portion of the group of neighboring map points; and
repeating the identifying and modifying operations for at least a subset of the map points.

Abstract
A method and system are provided for characterizing motion data. The method and system obtain point specific (PS) motion data for a plurality of map points. The PS motion data indicates an amount of motion that occurred at the corresponding map point on a wall of the heart during at least one cardiac cycle. The method and system, calculate mechanical activation times (MAT) for the map points, identifying a group of neighbor map points for a current map point, and modifying the MAT corresponding to the current map point based on the MATs corresponding to at least a portion of the group of neighboring map points. Further, the method and system repeat the identifying and modifying operations for at least a subset of the map points.

13. A system for characterizing motion data collected by cardiovascular navigation system (CNS), the system comprising:
-
a plurality of physiological sensors configured to be positioned adjacent to a plurality of map points on a heart, wherein the physiological sensors acquire point specific (PS) motion data at the corresponding map points, the PS motion data indicates an amount of motion that occurred at the map points on a wall of the heart during at least one cardiac cycle; a PS motion data analysis circuit module configured to determine, from the PS motion data and from the map points, a mechanical activation time (MAT); and a MAT modification circuit module configured to modify the MAT of a selected map point based on the MATs corresponding to at least a subset of the map points. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
