Does a novel LGE-MRI based 3-D visualization and quantification tool accurately quantify left atrium fibrosis compared to electro-anatomical mapping in patients with atrial fibrillation?
A novel LGE-MRI based tool provides a noninvasive alternative to electro-anatomical mapping for accurate quantification and localization of left atrial fibrosis in AF patients.
Ravanelli et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Atrial fibrillation (n=10). 3-D segmentation, quantification and visualization tool based on LGE-MRI vs. Electro-anatomical mapping (EAM) system was evaluated on Discrepancies in fibrosis quantification compared to EAM results. A novel 3-D visualization and quantification tool based on LGE-MRI quantified left atrium fibrosis with less than 4% discrepancy compared to the clinical reference standard electro-anatomical mapping.
