  • Patent number: 9147289
    Abstract: A method for visualizing the quality of an ablation process with a processing and display unit is provided. A 3D dataset of an anatomical object and a 3D image model of an ablation instrument are provided, wherein the 3D image model models at least the surface of the ablation instrument. A position and an alignment of the 3D image model of the ablation instrument within the anatomical object is specified, wherein the 3D image model of the ablation instrument is incorporated into the 3D dataset of the anatomical object. At least a part of the incorporated 3D image model of the ablation instrument and of the 3D dataset of the anatomical object is presented and at least one characteristic quality value is determined as a function of the location of the 3D image model of the ablation instrument in relation to the anatomical object.
