The method may also comprise capturinga plurality of 4D surface registration points in the acquired ultrasound imagescorresponding to points on the subject. The method may also comprise registering,in space and time, a high resolution 4D model of the subject with the pluralityof 4D surface registration points. The method may also comprise displaying highresolution, real-time images of the subject during a medical procedure basedon the registration of the high resolution 4D model to the 4D surface registrationpoints. Embodiments of the present invention are especially useful in left atriumablation procedures.
