A system and method for tracking a position of an interventional medical device configured to be deployed into a subject during a medical procedure. An anatomical dataset of the subject is acquired while at least one electrical sensor is disposed along the interventional medical device. A feedback signal is generated from the electrical sensor and is processed and analyzed to identify positional information of the interventional medical device. A position of the interventional medical device with respect to the anatomical dataset is identified and the position of the interventional medical device with respect to the anatomical dataset is shown on a display.
A system for tracking a position of an interventional medical device configured to be deployed into a subject during a medical procedure, the system comprising:
A method for tracking a placement of an interventional medical device deployed into a subject, the method comprising the steps of:
The method as recited in claim 21 further including coupling the electrical source to the interventional medical device.
The method as recited in claim 22 wherein the electrical source is the electrical sensor operating to create a symmetrical signal.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
