摘要 |
A system and method of treatment of a patient in a catheterization laboratory is described. A three dimensional (3D) voxel data set of the patient is obtained using a computed tomography device. The data is displayed in a multiplanar slice format, or as a segmented 3D image, and a particular bodily structure identified. The identified structure coordinates are registered, if necessary, with respect to the patient when the patient is positioned for obtaining real-time fluoroscopic images during the treatment, and the bodily structure information is superimposed on the displayed fluoroscopic image. The treatment may be, for example, an electrophysiological (EP) ablation procedure for atrial fibrulation.
