Abstract:
1. A method of generating a map of a surface of a structure in an anatomy, comprising: acquiring a first plurality of discrete position data points in a first region in the anatomy with a position element positioned within the first region; rendering a first region display of a map based on the acquired first plurality of discrete position data points in a first region; acquiring at least one second discrete position data point in the anatomy after acquiring the first plurality of discrete position data points with the position element positioned within the first region or a second region; determining whether at least one acquired second discrete position data point is within the first region, wherein the second discrete position data point is acquired subsequent to the acquired first plurality of discrete position data points; and if it is determined that the acquired at least one second discrete position data point is not in the first region, rendering a second region display of the map relative to the rendered first region display and only augmenting the rendered first region display of the map with the rendered second region display of the map based on the acquired at least one second discrete position data point.
