Abstract: Tissue mapping and imaging systems are disclosed along with methods for mapping tissue. The systems can include an image recording and mapping system in communication with a manual image scanning device having an imaging probe. The manual image scanning device can be configured to scan a volume of tissue and output at least one scanned image and to electronically receive and record the at least one scanned image. The image recording and mapping system can be further configured to construct an idealized tissue map from the at least one scanned image. The image recording and mapping system can also include a position tracking system configured to detect and track the position of the imaging probe and provide location identifier information for the at least one scanned image. The idealized tissue map can be an idealized depiction of an anatomy. The idealized tissue map can include references points.

Abstract: Image recording devices and systems are disclosed along with methods for image recording. The systems can be in communication with a manual imaging device having an imaging probe configured to scan a volume of tissue and output scan images. The systems can be further configured to electronically receive first and second images and to calculate an image-to-image spacing between the first and second images. The systems can further perform an image quality analysis on the scan images and record the scan images if movement of the imaging probe is detected and the scan images satisfy the image quality analysis. The systems can also include a position tracking system. Position sensors and/or orientation sensors can be coupled to the imaging probe to determine the position and orientation of the imaging probe. The systems can be configured to associate the position and orientation data with the scanned images.
