  • Publication number: 20240293071
    Abstract: A system for surgical imaging is disclosed. The system utilizes imaging devices configured to be inserted into a body of a patient. The system includes a display device, a first catheter having a first transducer. The first transducer is configured to sense an anatomical structure of the body and output a first set of imaging data. The system includes a second catheter having a second transducer configured to sense the anatomical structure and output a second set of imaging data. The system includes a processor in communication with a memory storing executable instructions. The system receives, simultaneously, the first set and second set of imaging data. The system determines positions of the anatomical structures, based on the first and second set of imaging data. The system displays, on the display device, a real-time rendering of the anatomical structure based on the position of the anatomical structure.

  • Patent number: 10835315
    Abstract: A method for controlling an ablation power applied to a catheter includes: receiving, by a controller, a detected contact force from a sensor assembly of the catheter, the sensor assembly being configured to detect a contact force applied to the electrode; controlling, by the controller, a power supplied to an electrode of the catheter to have a deactivated power level when the detected contact force is less than a first threshold contact force; controlling, by the controller, the power supplied to the electrode of the catheter to have a first power level when the detected contact force is greater than the first threshold contact force; and controlling, by the controller, the power supplied to the electrode of the catheter to have a deactivated power level when the detected contact force is greater than a cutoff contact force, the cutoff contact force being greater than the first threshold contact force.
