Abstract

A method of generating an electrophysiology map of a portion of a patient's anatomy includes receiving a plurality of electrophysiology data points, each including an associated electrophysiological signal. A template electrophysiology data point and one or more unwanted electrophysiology data points are selected from the plurality of electrophysiology data points. The electrophysiological signal associated with the template electrophysiology data point is defined as a template electrophysiological signal, while the electrophysiological signal(s) associated with the unwanted electrophysiology data point(s) is/are defined as unwanted electrophysiological signal(s). For any given electrophysiology data point, if the morphology of its associated electrophysiological signal is more similar to the morphology of an unwanted electrophysiological signal than to the morphology of the template electrophysiological signal, the given electrophysiology data point is rejected/excluded from an electrophysiology map.
