Systems and methods for calibrating calculations based on catheter-originated measurements. One embodiment comprises a method for calibrating volume calculations for a fluid-filled cavity, such as a heart chamber. In this method, a first catheter configured to measure electrical characteristics and a second catheter configured to measure geometric characteristics are inserted into a fluid-filled cavity. Electrical characteristics of the fluid-filled cavity are measured with the first catheter and geometric characteristics of the cavity are measured with the second catheter. A volume segment is determined based on the measured geometric characteristics of the cavity, and a corresponding volume segment is determined based on the measured electrical characteristics of the cavity. Because the geometric calculation of the volume is known to be more accurate, the volume calculation based on the electrical measurements is adjusted (calibrated) to match the geometric calculation
