Definitions

  • the RF generator 111 is activated to provide current 112 through an electrode 127 of the ablation catheter 120 to the target heart tissue 170.
  • the transducers 121 and 131 used in the navigation system 130 are different than typical ultrasound transducers of conventional imaging or visualization systems.
  • the transducers 121 and 131 of the ablation catheter 120 and the reference catheter 132 are used to establish a reference system and to determine positions with the reference system.
  • the transducers 121 and 131 are isotropic, i.e., they emit unfocused ultrasound energy in all directions so that the ultrasound energy can be detected by other transducers .
  • the RF generator 111 and navigation system 130 at different times, so that the current 112 produced by the RF generator 111 does not significantly interfere or does not interfere with the transmission of ultrasound signals between various transducers, including the receiving and transmitting such signals.
  • the RF current 112 does not significantly interfere with ultrasound signals 123 that are transmitted between ultrasound transducers 121 and 131 of catheters 120 and 132, signals 133 transmitted between various ultrasound transducers 131 of reference catheters, and acquisition of the corresponding data 124 by the processor 135.
  • the phase and duty cycle, of the timing signals 162 and 164 are programmed so that they ' "alternate" with respect to each other.
  • the RF generator 111 and output 112 are active when the navigation system 130 and ultrasound signals 123 are inactive.
  • the ' ultrasound signals 123 are active when the RF generator 111 and output
