Abstract

A method for mapping a structure in a body of a subject includes capturing a three-dimensional (3D) image of the structure comprising diagnostic information, and generating a 3D geometrical map of the structure using a probe inserted into the structure. The image is registered with the map, such that each of a plurality of image points in the image is identified with a corresponding map point in the map.
The map is displayed such that the diagnostic information associated with each of the image points is displayed at the corresponding map point.
