An interactive treatment mapping and planning system enables a user to more quickly, thoroughly, and efficiently aggregate fibroid and/or treatment information from a user and/or one or more sets of databases, construct a fibroid map providing a visual representation of the aggregated fibroid information, generate information from the aggregated information about the fibroid to be treated and/or treatment procedure, develop a treatment plan based on the fibroid and/or treatment procedure information, provide real-time information gathered from treatment devices during the treatment procedure, and allow the user to interact with the treatment data.

A system that executes a process for mapping cardiac fibrillation and optimizing ablation treatments. The process, in some embodiments, includes: positioning a two dimensional electrode array to several locations in a patient's heart and at each location, obtaining a conduction velocity and a cycle length measurement from at least two local signals in response to electrical activity in the cardiac tissue. In some embodiments, a regional wavelength is calculated by multiplying the local conduction velocity with the local minimum cycle length. The system can then create a wavelength distribution map that identifies the location of the drivers in the heart. In certain embodiments, the system uses variability of conduction velocity and cycle length in an area to determine the driver type. In some embodiments, the system calculates average distance of drivers to non-conductive tissue boundaries. The system then selects ablation placements that maximize treatment efficacy while minimizing tissue damage.

A system for electroporation ablation including a catheter having an electrode assembly and one or more states. The electrode assembly may be in different shapes when the catheter is at different states. The controller is configured to generate, based on one or more models of electric fields, graphical representations of electric fields generated by the electrode assembly when the catheter is at different states. In some embodiments, the controller is configured to overlay the graphical representations of the one or more electric fields on an anatomical map of a patient.

In an example, a signal segment evaluator can be programmed to evaluate a morphology of at least one electrophysiological signal to identify a signal segment of interest. The morphology of the signal segment of interest can be indicative of an electrophysiological event of a patient during a respective time interval. A reconstruction engine can be programmed to reconstruct electrophysiological signals on a surface of interest within a body of the patient based on the electrophysiological signals measured from an outer surface of the patient and geometry data representing an anatomy of the patient. A map generator can be programmed to generate a map representing the reconstructed electrophysiological signals on the surface of interest for the respective time interval of the signal segment of interest. A target generator can be programmed to identify a target site within the patient's body based on the map for the electrophysiological event.

The distal end of the catheter can be constructed to include one or more features to provide strain relief to wiring of multiple single axis sensors. In some examples, the multiple single axis sensors and associated wiring can be manufactured over a flexible tube that can be placed over a movable support member. In some examples, wiring can be wound an increased number of consecutive traverse turns on a distal and/or proximal side of a single axis sensor, and a shrink sleeve may be positioned over the traverse turns. In some examples a wire shield transition point can be positioned on a straight portion in a proximal direction to the distal portion of the catheter.

Electrophysiology mapping and visualization systems are described herein where such devices may be used to visualize tissue regions as well as map the electrophysiological activity of the tissue. Such a system may include a deployment catheter and an attached hood deployable into an expanded configuration. In use, the imaging hood is placed against or adjacent to a region of tissue to be imaged in a body lumen that is normally filled with an opaque bodily fluid such as blood. A translucent or transparent fluid, such as saline, can be pumped into the imaging hood until the fluid displaces any blood, thereby leaving a clear region of tissue to be imaged via an imaging element in the deployment catheter. A position of the catheter and/or hood may be tracked and the hood may also be used to detect the electrophysiological activity of the visualized tissue for mapping.

Methods and systems of computing parameter values of one or more model parameters are described. The model models structural and dielectric properties of a structure in a human or an animal body. An exemplary method includes: accessing voltage measurements made at different places in the vicinity of the structure by one or more in-body field sensing electrodes in response to currents applied to one or more field supplying electrodes; and computing the parameter values by adjusting the parameter values to fit predicted voltage values to the accessed voltage measurements, wherein the predicted voltage values are predicted from the model for the currents applied to the field supplying in-body electrodes.
