Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for target movement modelling use sequences of position data from a first electromagnetic (EM) sensor disposed at a distal portion of a catheter disposed in a lung and from at least one second EM sensor disposed at the patient's chest in order to update target tissue position. The methods involve generating a breathing model of the lungs as a function of breathing phases based on the position data from the first and second EM sensors. The methods also involve receiving current position data from the at least one second EM sensor and estimating a current breathing phase based on the breathing model and the current position data. The methods also involve predicting displacement of the target based on the breathing model and the current breathing phase, and updating body coordinates near the target based on the displacement of the target.
