Fluoroscopic overlay images rendered from preoperative volumetric data can provide
additional anatomical details to guide physicians during catheter ablation procedures for …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia. One important treatment option is
radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the pulmonary veins attached to the left atrium …

Purpose Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure in
which a prosthetic heart valve is placed and expanded within a defective aortic valve. The …

Purpose C-arm radiographs are commonly used for intraoperative image guidance in
surgical interventions. Fluoroscopy is a cost-effective real-time modality, although image …

Cryo-balloon catheters have attracted an increasing amount of interest in the medical
community as they can reduce patient risk during left atrial pulmonary vein ablation …

Purpose: To develop an imaging-based 3D catheter navigation system for transbronchial
procedures including biopsy and tumor ablation using a single-plane C-arm x-ray system …
