A method of imaging a tissue region may comprise visualizing one or more lesions in vivo over a tissue region within a body through an imaging catheter. The method may further comprise measuring a temperature or an electrical potential of the one or more lesions. The method may further comprise overlaying a gradient indicative of the temperature or the electrical potential upon a visual image of the one or more lesions captured in vivo. The method may further comprise registering ablation parameters to the visual image of the one or more lesions and displaying the visual image with the overlaid gradient and the registered ablation parameters.
