COLORING ELECTROANATOMICAL MAPS TO INDICATE ULTRASOUND DATA ACQUISITION

摘要

During acquisition of ultrasound data in a medical imaging procedure, three-dimensional model of a structure being imaged, e.g., an electroanatomical map, is co- displayed and visually marked, to indicate progress of data acquisition. The plane of intersection successive two- dimensional images are marked on the as a line or colored region on the three-dimensional model. This display enables the operator to determine regions where sufficient data have been captured, and guides the operator to areas where additional data collection is still needed. Various color schemes are used to indicate the relative sufficiency of data collection.
