Implication
Achieves <3 mm accuracy across chambers in canines; leaves open translation to human ablation procedures.

Intervention
Targeted ablations guided by reconstructed 3D CT images integrated with electroanatomic maps
O
Outcome
Position error of ablation lesions compared to fiducial markers at autopsysurrogate
Image integration with high-resolution 3D CT allows accurate placement of anatomically guided ablation lesions with <3 mm accuracy in all 4 cardiac chambers in a canine model.
