Abstract
As part of a real-time three-dimensional (3D) cardiac imaging system and method, anatomical data of a cardiac structure may be acquired and a 3D model of the cardiac structure may be generated. Visual data relevant to a cardiac procedure may be generated, such as location and orientation of a catheter, tags, points, color-coded temperature information, and/or color-coded local activation times (LAT) for the cardiac structure. The visual data superimposed on the 3D model of the cardiac structure may be visually displayed on a visual display device. A glass state view may be generated by generating a modified set of the visual data that includes removing at least a portion of the visual data that obscures a view of an anatomical feature of interest and/or the catheter, and adding edge enhancement to the cardiac structure. The glass state view may be requested to be visually displayed on the visual display device.
