摘要:
A method includes scanning a bodily tissue of a patient with an imaging device and prior to an interventional procedure to produce an image of a surface of an organ. At least a portion of a registration path associated with the organ is defined. The method further includes surgically exposing the organ and placing a probing instrument in contact with the organ at a starting point associated with the registration path and moving the probing instrument substantially along the registration path to define a registration surface of the organ. The method further includes mapping the registration surface of the organ to the image of the surface of the organ based at least in part on the registration path.
