Zusammenfassung:A system and method for co-registering body surface cardiac electrogram information to internal information is described. One embodiment comprises a rigid plate configured to be placed on a patient that includes imaging fiducials arranged in a unique orientation with respect to each other; a position sensor configured to provide position information of the rigid plate; multiple body surface electrodes coupled to the rigid plate for measuring cardiac electrical activity of the patient; and a control unit configured to receive an image scan of the patient, receive the cardiac electrical activity information from the body surface electrodes, receive position information of the rigid plate, and transform the cardiac electrical activity information from its coordinate system into the coordinate system of the position information of the rigid plate.
