Abstract
A method includes displaying a position of a distal end of a medical probe that is being navigated in an organ of a patient on a three-dimensional (3D) map of the organ. In response to an event, a plane of interest including the distal end is selected, a real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) slice of the organ is acquired at the selected plane, and the MRI slice is displayed overlaid on the 3D map.
Claims8
A method, comprising:
- displaying a position of a distal end of a medical probe that is being navigated in an organ of a patient on a three-dimensional (3D) map of the organ;
- and
- in response to an event, selecting a plane of interest comprising the distal end, acquiring a real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) slice of the organ at the selected plane, and displaying the MRI slice overlaid on the 3D map;
- wherein the 3D map of the organ is created by a 3D magnetic position tracking system.

A system, comprising:
- an interface, which is configured to communicate with a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system;
- and
- a processor, which is configured to display a position of a distal end of a medical probe that is being navigated in an organ of a patient on a three-dimensional (3D) map of the organ, and, in response to an event, to select a plane of interest comprising the distal end, to acquire from the MRI system, via the interface, a real-time MRI slice of the organ at the selected plane, and to display the MRI slice overlaid on the 3D map;
- wherein the 3D map of the organ is created by a 3D magnetic position tracking system.
