IMPEDANCE-BASED DEVICE TRACKING

A conformational state of a medical device operated within a body lumen is determined by measuring, using the medical device as an electrode, an electrical parameter which varies in a correspondence with a conformational state (e.g., deployment state) of the portion of the medical device used as the electrode. The conformational state of the medical device is determined, based on the electrical parameter; and an image is presented indicating the determined conformational state. In some embodiments, the electrical parameter is a self-impedance of the portion of the medical device used as the electrode. In some embodiments, current positioning of the medical device is used as part of calibrating a parametric relationship between the electrical parameter and conformational states of the medical device.
