A system and method for automatically registering a three dimensional (3D)
pre-operative image of an anatomical structure with intra-operative
electrophysiological (EP) points of a 3D electro-anatomical (EA) image
map of the anatomical structure is disclosed. The pre-operative image is
displayed in a first supporting view. The intra-operative EA image map is
displayed in a second supporting view. An alignment of the pre-operative
image with the intra-operative map is performed by identifying at least
one corresponding point on each image. The view of the pre-operative
image is integrated with the EA map based on the alignment.
