摘要: Background— Modern nonfluoroscopic mapping systems construct 3D electroanatomic maps by tracking intracardiac catheters. They require specialized catheters and/or dedicated hardware. We developed a new method for merging detailed models of the endocardial cavities with fluoroscopic images without need This developmental work focused on right atrium because difficulties in visualizing its anatomic landmarks current approaches. Methods and Results— Cardiac MRI were acquired 39 patients referred radiofrequency catheter ablation using balanced steady state free-precession sequences. optimized acquisition software construction models, after contouring cross-checking different imaging planes. then merged biplane methods image calibration registration implemented custom application. The ...
