Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for automatically generating CPM matrices. The system includes a plurality of body surface electrodes configured to sense electric signals and a processor comprising a neural network. The processor is configured to receive a plurality of historical CPM matrices, patient properties, and corresponding catheter locations, train a learning system based on the plurality of CPM matrices, patient properties, and corresponding catheter locations, generate a model based on the learning system, receive new patient properties at least in part from the plurality of body surface electrodes and generate new CPM matrices based on new patient properties at least in part from the plurality of body surface electrodes.

System and method to determine the location of a catheter

A method includes calculating a first medial-axis tree graph of a volume of an organ of a patient in a first computerized anatomical map of the volume, acquired at a first time. A second medial-axis tree graph is calculated, of a volume of the organ of the patient in a second computerized anatomical map of the volume, acquired at a second time that is different from the first time. A deviation is detected and estimated, between the first and second tree-graphs. Using the estimated deviation, the first and second medial-axis tree graphs are registered with one another. Using the registered first and second tree graphs, the first and second computerized anatomical maps are combined.

Automatic registration of an anatomical map to a previous anatomical map

A method, including receiving sets of signals during multiple cardiac cycles, each set indicating, for a probe inserted into a cardiac chamber, a 3D location of a distal end of the probe, electrical potentials measured at the location, and respective times during a given cycle when the potentials were measured. The received measurements and the respective times are compared to a first template for a sinus rhythm cycle and a second template for a non-sinus rhythm cycle so as to identify a sequence of cycles including consecutive first, second, and third cycles wherein the first and second cycles match the first template and the third cycle matches the second template. A physical map is generated based on the locations. Based on the received locations and corresponding potentials, an electroanatomic map including the local activation times for the non-sinus rhythm cycle overlaid on the physical map is rendered to a display.

Mapping local activation times for sinus and non-sinus cardiac cycles

A method includes receiving two or more surface representations of at least a portion of an organ of a patient. The two or more received surface representations are registered one with the other. One of the surface representations is selected as a base map. A draggable geodesic region is generated for at least one of the two or more surface representations not selected as a base map, wherein the geodesic region is configured to follow varying anatomy as the region is dragged over the base map. The draggable geodesic region is overlaid on the base map to generate a mixed multilayer representation, and the mixed multilayer representation is presented to a user.

A method includes calculating a center-of-mass of a volume of an organ of a patient in a computerized anatomical map of the volume. A location is found on the anatomical map, on a surface of the volume, that is farthest from the center-of-mass. The location is identified as a known anatomical opening of the organ.

Post-mapping automatic identification of pulmonary veins

A method includes receiving one or more signals indicative of a position of a distal-end assembly of a medical probe within an organ of a patient. Based on the received signals, an inner volume that is confined within the distal-end assembly is determined. An anatomical map of the organ is updated, to denote the inner volume of the distal-end assembly as belonging to an interior of the organ.

Fast anatomical mapping (FAM) using volume filling

Methods, computing systems and computer software products implement embodiments of the present invention that include receiving, by a processor, respective coordinates for multiple points on a surface, and rendering an image of the surface on a display screen. For each given point among the multiple points, a density of the points within a region surrounding the given point is computed, and the given point on the surface with a point size that is inversely related to the computed density is rendered on the display screen.
