Registration of electro-anatomical map with pre-acquired image using ultrasound

This invention describes a system that helps doctors visualize a target inside a patient's body by combining different types of medical information. It uses a specialized catheter equipped with sensors to determine its position, capture live ultrasound images, and record the electrical activity of the target. The system then aligns these live ultrasound images and electrical activity maps with a pre-existing scan, such as an MRI, to create a unified, comprehensive view on a display.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in real-time 3D image processing and AI-driven registration algorithms. These modern computational capabilities could now make the complex multi-modal image alignment much faster and more accurate.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMulti-sensor catheter, advanced image processing software
