Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Cardiovascular Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Real-time 3-D intracardiac imaging is crucial for cardiovascular interventions.
  • Existing technologies may have limitations in resolution and scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel catheter-mounted 2-D array transducer system for real-time 3-D intracardiac ultrasound (US).
  • To assess the utility of this system for in vivo imaging of cardiac structures and devices.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of 64-channel, 5 MHz, 2-D array transducers within a 12 French catheter lumen.
  • Integration of six electrodes for simultaneous electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition.
  • In vivo testing in an open-chest sheep model for intracardiac 3-D scanning.

Main Results:

  • Successful acquisition of real-time 3-D intracardiac US images.
  • Visualization of cardiac chambers (four-chamber view), valves (mitral, pulmonic, tricuspid), septa, and ventricular volumes.
  • Imaging of electrophysiological devices, in vitro ablation, and pulmonary veins.

Conclusions:

  • The developed catheter-mounted 3-D US system provides valuable real-time intracardiac imaging capabilities.
  • This technology shows promise for enhanced visualization during cardiovascular procedures and research.
