Is real-time three dimensional intracardiac echocardiography feasible for imaging anatomical landmarks in an open chest sheep model?
Real-time 3D intracardiac echocardiography is feasible for visualizing key anatomical landmarks, suggesting potential utility for guiding electrophysiological procedures.
Lee et al. (2002) studied Interventional electrophysiology studies. Real-time three dimensional intracardiac echocardiography was evaluated on Feasibility of obtaining real-time 3D images of anatomical landmarks. Real-time three dimensional intracardiac echocardiography successfully produced up to 60 3D scans per second and provided real-time 3D images of anatomical landmarks in an open chest sheep model.
