Automated 3D Volume Rendering Left Atrium With One-Touch EP Views

Using pre-set protocols, a 2D or 3D left atrial/ventricular view can be generated and displayed in semi-automatic fashion to give users a qualitative overview of the heart chambers. This functionality provides:

• Pulmonary vein ablation planning, follow-up
• Automated Left Chamber extraction
• One-touch EP layout presets
• Automated Endocardial view displaying atrial shell

Pulmonary Vessel Analysis

A semi-automated pulmonary vein/coronary sinus analysis tool (CSA) based on the Advanced Vessel Analysis (AVA) technique allows the user to track, extract, visualize and measure the veins and sinus. Tools provide:

Extract Pulmonary vein to display:

• Long axis view
• Cross-sectional view
• Rotating curved views
  
  
  Plan Procedure:
  
  
• Diameter of PV
• Cross-sectional area
• Distance to first branch

One-touch Virtual Endoscopy

The CardEP™ software package provides predefined orientation layouts to view the pulmonary vein and atrial appendage ostia on either the left or right sides. Features include:

• Automated threshold settings for optimal viewing inside the atrium
• 'Fly through' pulmonary vein or coronary sinus lumen
• One-touch NavEP layout presets

Coronary Sinus Vessel Analysis

CardEP™ wizard-guided vessel tracking enables:

• Bi-ventricular pacemaker lead placement planning
• Extract coronary sinus and cardiac veins to display curved reformat or longitudinal view
• Gauge catheter size and plan procedure
• Diameter
• Cross-sectional area
• Vessel length

3D Volume Rendered Heart

CardEP™ automated 3D volume rendered heart view allow real time evaluation of coronary anatomy for procedure planning.

• One-touch removal of cardiac anatomy from within the chest cavity for easy review
• Beating heart with multi-phase data sets
• Multiple VR color patterns to aid in highlighting anatomy
