Patent number: 9955920Abstract: A method including acquiring a body cavity image and receiving first and second sets of mapping points from a probe inserted into the cavity. A first registration, having a first cumulative error value, is performed between the first set's mapping points and the image, each of the first set's mapping points having a respective first point error value, and a 3D anatomical map is generated including the first set's mapping points whose respective first point error values are less than a specified threshold. A second registration is performed between the received mapping points and the image, each of the received mapping points having a respective second point error value, the second registration having a second cumulative error value lower than the first cumulative error value, and an updated 3D anatomical map is generated including the received mapping points whose respective second point error values are less than the specified threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: BIOSENSE WEBSTER (ISRAEL) LTD.Inventors: Sharona Ben Shushan, Asaf Merschon, Fady Massarwa

Patent number: 9615764Abstract: Catheterization of the heart is carried out with a probe having a plurality of electrodes and sensors by displaying an electroanatomical map of the heart on a monitor. During a time interval that does not exceed a duration of a cardiac cycle of the heart the following steps are performed: reading data from at least one of the electrodes and sensors, and invoking a processor to perform an algorithm on the data. The data is one of a plurality of inputs of the algorithm, and the result of the algorithm includes a transformation of the data. The method is further carried out by rendering the result of the algorithm on the monitor to modify the electroanatomical map.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: BIOSENSE WEBSTER (ISRAEL) LTDInventors: Eliahu Zino, Roy Urman, Asaf Merschon, Shmuel Auerbach, Yaniv Ben Zhriham
