An image fusion tool for echo‐guided left ventricular lead placement in cardiac resynchronization therapy: Performance and workflow integration analysis
Abstract:Background
The response rate to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be improved if echocardiographic‐derived parameters are used to guide the left ventricular (LV) lead deployment. Tools to visually integrate deformation imaging and fluoroscopy to take advantage of the combined information are lacking.
Methods
An image fusion tool for echo‐guided LV lead placement in CRT was developed. A personalized average 3D cardiac model aided visualization of patient‐specific LV function in fluoroscopy. A set of c… Show more
