Abstract:
Apparatus, including a probe having an insertion tube and a section connected to the insertion tube. A camera is attached to the section and a magnetic field sensor coil, having a first coil axis of symmetry, is also attached with the first axis parallel to a camera direction of view. Another magnetic field sensor coil, which has a second coil axis of symmetry, is attached to the insertion tube with the second axis perpendicular to the camera direction of view. A processor receives signals generated by the coils and in response to signals received at a first time, identifies an initial orientation of an initial image produced by the camera. In response to signals received at a second, subsequent, time, the processor identifies a subsequent orientation of a subsequent image and rotates the subsequent image on a display so as to reorient the subsequent image to the initial orientation.
