            Abstract : 
In this paper, we present one efficient plane cutting method in the endocardial 3D mapping system. The algorithm cuts 3D endocardial surface model through moving plane freely from matrix transformation and rotating the normal line of plane based on VTK platform. The experimental result shows that this approach has a strong ability for endocardial surface model cutting with no sawtooth effect, which can help doctor to give more accurate judgment in medical diagnosis of Catheter ablation technology.
