Integrating pre-procedural MR/CT images with 3D electroanatomic mapping improves catheter ablation for arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation (AF). This advanced technique enhances navigation accuracy and procedural safety.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Electrophysiology

Background:

  • 3D electroanatomic mapping systems are crucial for guiding catheter ablation procedures.
  • Integrating pre-procedural MR/CT images offers superior anatomical detail compared to traditional mapping systems.
  • This integration facilitates more precise catheter navigation during complex cardiac procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of integrating pre-procedural MR/CT images with 3D electroanatomic mapping systems.
  • To highlight the advantages of image integration for guiding catheter ablation of clinical arrhythmias.
  • To identify key considerations for minimizing registration errors in image integration.

Main Methods:

  • Acquisition of pre-procedural MR/CT images.
