Abstract
Systems and methods for a graphical user interface for an ablation procedure include a display, a controller in electronic communication with the display, a catheter coupled to the controller, and a graphical user interface generated by the controller and shown on the display. The catheter has a distal tip comprising an ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound transducer is configured to emit an ultrasound beam. The graphical user interface includes a three-dimensional anatomical reference map of a chamber of body tissue to be ablated, where a lesion path is superimposed on the anatomical reference map; a catheter position relative to the chamber; and a window showing data. The data includes at least one of a) a distance between the ultrasound transducer and a surface of the body tissue, b) a dosing plan, c) a tissue thickness, and d) a tissue property.
