As compared to the manual EP, the rotation difference with the TOP was on average -3.1 ± 7.1° and the distance difference was on average -7.1 ± 5.4 mm. The computational time to suggest the TOP was 20s. The software tool is modulable and demonstrated consistency and robustness when repeating the calculation and changing the initial position of the transducer.
