AI Technical Summary
Existing cardiac mapping systems face issues such as 'under-contact,' 'over-contact,' and 'webbing' due to the rigidity of catheters, leading to inaccurate anatomical shell representations of cardiac tissue, which can distort the actual shape of cardiac chambers.
A processor-implemented method and system for voltage-guided anatomical shell editing, allowing users to select and edit regions of the anatomical shell based on sensed voltage depths, and automatically adjusting the shell to improve accuracy by using metrics like impedance and contact force measurements.
Enhances the accuracy of cardiac mapping by allowing precise editing and adjustment of anatomical shells to better represent the cardiac structure, reducing distortions and improving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
