The Unified ECGI Toolkit (UETK) successfully integrates multiple open-source packages into a single pipeline to facilitate the testing and validation of electrocardiographic imaging techniques.
The Unified ECGI Toolkit provides a comprehensive, open-source pipeline to standardize and facilitate electrocardiographic imaging research.
The Consortium for ECG Imaging (CEI) has formed several collaborative projects to evaluate and improve technical aspects of Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI), but these efforts are not yet implemented into an integrated software framework. We developed a framework to unify the multiple techniques and stages of ECGI into one pipeline. This framework merges existing open source packages: SCIRun, a problem solving environment; the Forward/Inverse toolkit, a series of SCIRun modules for ECGI; and PFEIFER, a cardiac signal pre-processing tool. The Unified ECGI Toolkit (UETK), combined with the EDGAR dataset, allows users to test and validate a vast array of parameters within each stage of the ECGI pipeline. We expect that this unified tool will help introduce new researchers to ECGI, facilitate interaction between the various groups working on ECGI, and establish a common approach for researchers to test and validate their ECGI techniques.
