==ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY MAPPING USING CATHETER SPLINES DEFLECTION MODELING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18089428 titled 'ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY MAPPING USING CATHETER SPLINES DEFLECTION MODELING

The system described in the patent application includes an expandable distal-end assembly with electrodes and a processor.
* The expandable distal-end assembly is attached to a shaft for insertion into a patient's organ cavity.
* The processor receives location signals from both the distal and proximal ends of the assembly.
* It also receives signals indicating the change in relative orientation from sensors on the assembly.
* The processor estimates the angular position of splines extending from the proximal to distal end of the assembly.
* Based on this information, it estimates the locations of the electrodes in three-dimensional space.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system includes an expandable distal-end assembly and a processor. The expandable distal-end assembly is coupled to a distal end of a shaft for insertion into a cavity of an organ of a patient, the assembly including one or more electrodes. The processor is configured to (i) receive location signals from each of a distal and proximal location of the distal-end assembly, (ii) receive location signals indicative of a relative orientational angle from one or more sensors that are located at the distal-end assembly and configured to output signals indicative of the change in the relative orientation, (iii) estimate angular position in the azimuthal plane of each of a plurality of splines extending from the proximal to distal end of the distal-end assembly, and (iv) estimate respective locations of one or more of the electrodes in three dimensional space based on the estimated angular position of each of the splines.
