Abstract:
1. A method of generating a diagnosis map of at least a portion of a heart, comprising the steps of: inserting an electrode within a portion of a heart; robotically moving the electrode within the portion of the heart; detecting position information of the electrode, thereby generating a plurality of location points that define a space occupied by the portion of the heart, the plurality of location points including both location points interior to a surface of the heart and location points on the surface of the heart; measuring electrophysiology information from the surface of the heart as the electrode is robotically moved within the portion of the heart; distinguishing the location points interior to a surface of the portion of the heart from the location points on the surface of the portion of the heart; associating the measured electrophysiology information from the surface of the heart with the location point on the surface of the heart at which the measurement was made as a surface diagnostic data point; storing the surface diagnostic data point; and generating a three-dimensional model of the portion of the heart comprising a plurality of surface diagnostic data points.
