The MediGuide non-fluoroscopic catheter tracking system is a novel technology that enhances spatial resolution and reduces radiation exposure during atrial flutter ablation.
May support lower radiation exposure in atrial flutter ablation; leaves open need for randomized trials versus fluoroscopy.
non-fluoroscopic catheter tracking system in North America. This new technology uses electromagnetic field to track sensor integrated intracardiac electrophysiology catheters which are projected on pre-recorded fluoroscopy cine loops. This new technology permits catheter tracking in virtual biplane fluoroscopy and enhances spatial resolution of conventional 3D mapping systems while drastically reducing radiation exposure.
