Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating and displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed. The method includes displaying, via the GUI, a real-time video received from a camera disposed within an ablation catheter. The method further includes displaying, via the GUI, a graphical representation of a plurality of electrodes of the ablation catheter.

Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a releasable connector system. In one preferred embodiment, a connector plug contains a conical element with a recessed groove. A jack contains features that allow mating with the conical shaped plug. Electrical contacts are embedded within the plug. The jack portion contains spring loaded contacts that are self-centered by the conical shape. The conical shape eases the ability to mate the plug and jack compared to a standard plug with a cylindrical jack. With this preferred embodiment, contact is made in any axial rotation. A lateral force to the jack or cord will dislodge the jack, reducing the likelihood of tripping over a cord, causing a fall, or damaging equipment.

Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system with an ambient room light. The medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system comprises a transducer probe, a beamformer, a processor, and a display device. In one preferred embodiment, an ambient room light is integrated with the display device of the ultrasound system. In another preferred embodiment, the ambient room light is carried by or integrated with an ultrasound imaging system cart that carries some or all of the components of the ultrasound system. Other preferred embodiments are provided, and each of these preferred embodiments can be used alone or in combination with one another.
