Systems and methods for medical device visualization

A method of displaying a visualized medical device during a medical procedure, the method comprising:

• tracking one or more position sensors on a medical device with a positioning system;
• inputting location data of the one or more position sensors into a low pass filter to attenuate oscillation of the location data from cardiac motion;
• inputting the location data of the one or more position sensors into a low pass filter controller to determine whether a reset event occurred;
• outputting a reset signal from the low pass filter controller to the low pass filter,
• resetting the low pass filter;
• and
• outputting filtered location data to a display.

A method of attenuating cardiac motion from medical device position data of a medical device, the method comprising:

• inputting location signals from one or more position sensors disposed on the medical device into a low pass filter to generate low pass filtered location data;
• inputting the location signals from the one or more position sensors into a low pass filter controller;
• determining whether motion of the one or more position sensors is attributable to manipulation of the medical device by a user;
• generating a reset output with the low pass filter controller when motion of the one or more position sensors is attributable to manipulation of the medical device by the user;
• and
• resetting the low pass filter.
