    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Machine Learning

    Background:

    • Cryo-balloon catheters are crucial for pulmonary vein ablation but lack electrodes for automatic localization by electro-anatomical mapping systems.
    • X-ray fluoroscopy is essential for guiding these procedures, yet current image guidance methods offer limited support and require substantial user input.
    • Accurate catheter localization is vital for patient safety and procedural efficacy in minimally invasive cardiac interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel method for automatic detection and localization of cryo-balloon catheters in fluoroscopic images.
    • To enhance image guidance during pulmonary vein ablation by improving the accuracy and efficiency of catheter tracking.
    • To reduce reliance on manual user interaction for cryo-balloon catheter positioning during electrophysiology procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A blob detection algorithm identifies potential X-ray marker candidates on the cryo-balloon catheter.
    • Prior knowledge is used to exclude non-relevant candidates, followed by feature extraction for remaining markers.
    • A machine learning approach processes catheter-specific features to determine the final X-ray marker position.
    • The method was evaluated on 75 biplane fluoroscopy images from 40 patients using a biplane angiography system.

    Main Results:

    • The automated detection method achieved high success rates: 99.0% in plane A and 90.6% in plane B.
    • Detection accuracy was precise, with a mean error of 1.00 mm±0.82 mm in plane A and 1.13 mm±0.24 mm in plane B.
    • Three-dimensional localization demonstrated a low average error of 0.36 mm±0.86 mm, indicating robust spatial accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed machine learning-based method enables accurate and automatic detection of cryo-balloon catheters in fluoroscopic images.
    • This advancement offers improved image guidance for pulmonary vein ablation, potentially enhancing procedural outcomes and patient safety.
    • The system's high accuracy and success rates demonstrate its clinical utility in interventional cardiology settings.
