1. A medical system comprising:
an imaging catheter configured to be advanced into a body and configured to acquire images of tissue;
a display system; and
a processing unit including one or more processors, and wherein the processing unit is configured to:
identify, from the images, a tissue region within the body to be treated;
receive, from the imaging catheter, an image from the images of each of a plurality of lesions of a lesion the tissue region within the body;
catalogue the plurality of lesions, wherein each lesion of the plurality of lesions is associated, in an array, with a lesion identification label and the image of the lesion of the identified tissue region;
receive a measurement of a temperature or an electrical potential for a first lesion of the plurality of lesions;
overlay a gradient indicative of the temperature or the electrical potential on the image of the first lesion;
register an ablation parameter for the first lesion to the image of the first lesion, wherein the ablation parameter is received from a treatment device generating the first lesion; and
display, on the display system, the image of the first lesion with the overlaid gradient and with a textual informational overlay including the lesion identification label and the registered ablation parameter for the first lesion, wherein the lesion identification label is one of a plurality of lesion identification labels previously catalogued for the tissue region.
