SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TISSUE MAPPING

摘要

Tissue mapping and imaging systems are disclosed along with methods for mapping tissue. The systems can include an image recording and mapping system in communication with a manual image scanning device having an imaging probe. The manual image scanning device can be configured to scan a volume of tissue and output at least one scanned image and to electronically receive and record the at least one scanned image. The image recording and mapping system can be further configured to construct an idealized tissue map from the at least one scanned image. The image recording and mapping system can also include a position tracking system configured to detect and track the position of the imaging probe and provide location identifier information for the at least one scanned image. The idealized tissue map can be an idealized depiction of an anatomy. The idealized tissue map can include references points.
