Dielectric-Based Imaging And Navigation Of The Heart

Electroanatomic (EA) mapping systems are increasingly indispensable for complex mapping and ablation procedures in electrophysiology. An ideal ‘wish-list’ for such mapping may include accurate, real-time, acquisition of cardiac geometry, dynamic imaging of cardiac motion, localization of any catheter or wire within the heart, characterizing ablated versus non-ablated tissue, and electrophysiologic identification of voltage, activation times, physiological potentials and arrhythmogenic indices. In fact, few EA mapping systems meet these criteria.
