Zusammenfassung: | Devices, systems, and methods for guiding a balloon therapy procedure by generating and outputting a visualization of the volumetric position of a balloon within an anatomical cavity are provided. For example, in one embodiment, a processor circuit is configured to control a plurality of electrodes to detect an electromagnetic field within the anatomical cavity, and determine, based on the detected electromagnetic field and a geometrical parameter associated with the balloon (e.g., size, shape of the balloon), a location of the balloon within the anatomical cavity. The processor circuit outputs a signal representation of a visualization of the balloon to guide placement of the therapeutic balloon. In some embodiments, the visualization is output to a display with a map of the anatomical cavity. The visualization may be updated based on detected movement of the balloon to provide a real time view of the location of the balloon within the anatomical cavity. |
