METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING AND VISUALIZING MEDICAL DEVICES

An electroanatomical mapping system tracks and visualizes an item of interest, such as a medical device or anatomical structure, as the item of interest moves within a non-ionizing localization field. The system positions an item within a localization field and determines an initial position of the item relative to a field of view of an imaging device (e.g., an intracardiac echocardiography catheter). If the item is within the field of view, the system displays a region of the field of view that contains the initial position of the item. If the item is not in the field of view, the system may output a notification. As the item moves, the system may update the displayed area so that it remains in focus on the item and may output a notification when the item exits the field of view. The displayed area may include one or more two-dimensional image slices, which are optionally output as a three-dimensional volumetric image. 一种电解剖标测系统，在诸如医疗设备或解剖结构的感兴趣项目在非电离定位场内移动时，跟踪和可视化该感兴趣项目。该系统将项目定位在定位场内，以及确定项目相对于成像设备(例如，心腔内超声心
