Claim One:
1. A method for characterizing a region of interest (ROI) and providing therapy comprising: positioning a tool within a region of interest (ROI), wherein the tool includes an electromagnetic sensor; measuring one or more position data and orientation data as the electromagnetic sensor travels within the ROI, wherein the measuring comprises confirming at least one dimensional value associated with the ROI by counting number of pixels depicted within at least one branch boundary of the ROI on a visual image of the ROI; generating a geometric data set of the ROI based on the measured one or more position data and orientation data, wherein the geometric data set includes one or more of the following: length, bifurcation location, angle and curvature characteristics of the ROI; determining at least one of a size of a lead for permanent placement within the ROI, or a location within the ROI for permanent placement of the lead; implanting the lead within the ROI based on the geometric data set; and activating the lead to provide therapy to the ROI.
