SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING TISSUE TYPE AND MAPPING TISSUE MORPHOLOGY

A method and system for determining tissue type is provided. The system comprises an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to acquire a value of an electrical parameter between a first electrode electrically coupled with tissue and a second electrode. The ECU is further configured to identify a tissue type from a plurality of tissue types based at least on the acquired value, and in an exemplary embodiment, to generate a tissue morphology map comprising a marker representative of the identified tissue type. The method comprises acquiring a value of an electrical parameter between a first electrode electrically coupled with tissue and a second electrode. The method further comprises identifying a tissue type from a plurality of tissue types based on at least the acquired value of the electrical parameter, and in an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises generating a tissue morphology map based on the identified tissue type.
