The Opal Mapping system centers around a real-time virtual world of the human heart. As a physician probes the heart with a catheter, the system generates an accurate electro-anatomical model of the chamber. High-performance rendering and algorithmic/signal processing techniques are vital for creating a stunning view of the hearth's chamber and providing instant feedback to the physician. The mapping system also provides a suite of data-analytical and graphing tools under an intuitive GUI, aiding the physician to administer the right therapy to the patient.
