Application: Electrophysiology mapping and visualization system (Patent ID: US20240164619A1)
The patent filed by Intuitive Surgical Inc. describes a system comprising a catheter with an articulatable segment, an imaging element, a sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to generate an anatomic map and a composite image, mapping the composite image to the anatomic map. The sensor can detect motion, determine the position and orientation of the articulatable segment with respect to patient anatomy, and generate an electrophysiological map.
Additionally, the system includes a treatment instrument extendable through the catheter, with the processor capable of detecting changes in patient anatomy in response to the instrument's use and updating the anatomic map accordingly. The articulatable segment can move within multiple planes, and the imaging element and sensor are aligned along a common axis. Other features include an illumination source, an optical fiber, and a hood on the articulatable segment. Overall, the system allows for precise imaging, mapping, and treatment within a patient's anatomy, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of medical procedures.
