Patent number: 9332928Abstract: An volume of a patient can be mapped with a system operable to identify a plurality of locations and save a plurality of locations of a mapping instrument. The mapping instrument can include one or more electrodes that can sense a voltage that can be correlated to a three dimensional location of the electrode at the time of the sensing or measurement. Therefore, a map of a volume can be determined based upon the sensing of the plurality of points without the use of other imaging devices. An implantable medical device can then be navigated relative to the mapping data.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2009Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: H. Toby Markowitz, Mustafa Karamanoglu, Pooja Mehta, Ioana Fleming, David A. Scanlon, Michael Kryger, Sean Campbell-Massa, Chad Giese, Steven L. Waldhauser, Shangqian Peter Zhang, Jeff Jannicke, Phillip Falkner, Don Hefner, Eduardo N. Warman, James Steeves, Rogier Receveur, Koen Michels, Olaf Eick, Vincent Larik

Patent number: 8355774Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracking and illustrating the location of leads positioned within the volume is disclosed. For example, the lead electrodes can be positioned within a heart of a patient that can be tracked over time. The lead electrodes can be tracked with an electrode potential or bioimpedance tracking system to determine the position of the lead electrodes. A method and apparatus is disclosed to analyze the position information for analyzing the selected position of the lead electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: H.
