    摘要: A method for displaying information includes receiving a measurement with respect to an invasive probe inside a body of a subject of at least one probe parameter, selected from a group of parameters consisting of a bend angle of the probe and a pressure on the probe. Responsively to the measurement, an icon is displayed on a display screen representing the at least one probe parameter for viewing by an operator of the probe.

    摘要: An apparatus includes detection circuitry and gating circuitry. The detection circuitry is configured to sense a radio frequency (RF) ablation signal that is applied to a heart by an intra-body probe, and to identify time intervals during which an amplitude of an ablation signal is within a predefined window. The gating circuitry is configured to gate an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal acquired in the heart, such that the ECG signal is sampled only within the identified time intervals.

    摘要: A system is used for robotically controlling movement of a human-controllable catheter, wherein the catheter has at least one position sensor for generating or receiving signals used for determining six dimensions of location and orientation information. The system uses a robotic control mechanism and a computer for driving the robotic control mechanism to (i) translationally move the catheter distal end in a vicinity of a target, (ii) deflect the distal end of the catheter, and (iii) rotate the catheter. The computer determines roll of the catheter using six dimensions of location and orientation information based on signals generated or received from the at least one position sensor.

    摘要: A calibration apparatus includes a fixture, which is coupled to accept a probe so that a distal tip of the probe presses against a point in the fixture and produces first measurements indicative of a deformation of the distal tip relative to a distal end of the probe, in response to pressure exerted on the distal tip. A sensing device is coupled to the fixture and is configured to produce second measurements of a mechanical force exerted by the distal tip against the point. A calibration processor is configured to receive the first measurements from the probe, to receive the second measurements from the sensing device and to compute, based on the first and second measurements, one or more calibration coefficients for assessing the pressure as a function of the first measurements.

    摘要: In techniques for testing and calibrating an ablator, a tissue probe emulator is connectable to a tissue ablator being tested. The emulator includes a temperature sensor, a thermoelectric unit operative to vary a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, an adjustable electrical load, electrical control circuitry connected to the thermoelectric unit and the electrical load and operative to independently adjust the electrical load and an output of the thermoelectric unit. The emulator conveys signals emitted by the temperature sensor to the tissue ablator and conveys an ablation energy output of the tissue ablator to the electrical load.

    摘要: A magnetic field generator includes a substrate, a main generator coil, at least one field sensor, at least one shim coil, a driver circuit and a correction circuit. The main generator coil, the field sensor, and the shim coil are all disposed on the substrate. The driver circuit is coupled to drive the main generator coil with a driving current at a selected frequency. The correction circuit is coupled to receive a signal at the selected frequency from the at least one field sensor and, in response to deviations in the signal from a predefined baseline, to drive the at least one shim coil with a driving current having an amplitude configured to return the signal to the baseline.
