Techniques for catheter path planning for a cardiac ablation procedure to treat an arrhythmia of a patient are provided. One technique receives data that includes a three-dimensional (3D) image of the heart of the patient and an electrocardiogram collected from the patient and that includes a catheter specification. The technique applies a path planning system to the 3D image, a location (e.g., source location or target location), and the catheter specification to generate a candidate path from a starting point to a target point that is based on the location. The technique outputs an indication of the candidate path to help inform the ablation procedure to treat the arrhythmia of the patient.

A cardiac catheterization image recognition and evaluation method is disclosed. The first deep learning algorithm is used to conduct an object recognition process on the cardiac catheterization image to obtain the vessel object image. The image processing process is conducted to the cardiac catheterization image to obtain the vessel location image. The vessel object image and the vessel location image are combined to obtain the vessel contour image. The vessel type judging process is conducted to the vessel contour image to determine the type of vessel in the cardiac catheterization image. The second deep learning algorithm is used on the vessel contour image to detect the vessel occlusion location and to judge the vessel occlusion rate. Based on the type of vessel and the vessel occlusion rate at the vessel occlusion location, the cardiac catheterization image is evaluated to obtain the SYNTAX Score.

Aspects of the instant disclosure relate to various types of medical catheters with a deformable body that deflect in response to a force exerted on the catheter tip. A magnetic field sensor and permanent magnet respectively coupled on either side of the deformable body are used to determine a change in a magnetic field associated with the deflection of the catheter tip. Controller circuitry may receive a signal from the magnetic field sensor indicative of the deflection of the deformable body and associate the signal with the force exerted.
