چکیده
A number of revolutionary techniques and technologies have been introduced to the clinical electrophysiology laboratory in recent years which have offered new insights into arrhythmia mechanisms and as a result are enhancing strategies for ablating cardiac arrhythmias. They are aimed at improving the resolution, three-dimensional spatial localization, and/or rapidity of acquisition of cardiac activation maps.

Review of transmission scanning configurations in cardiac SPECT
The diagnostic accuracy of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is profoundly influenced by attenuation phenomenon. Soft tissue attenuation degrades cardiac SPECT image quality, thereby decreasing the possibility of the detection of the lesions. A variety of correction techniques based on different assumptions have been used to reduce the impact of attenuation. Several types of sy...
متن کاملInsights from preclinical ultra high-density electroanatomical sinus node mapping.
AIMS Although sinus node modification by catheter ablation is an established therapy for the treatment of inappropriate sinus tachycardia, there is incomplete understanding of sinus node anatomy and function but also limited electroanatomical mapping data. Recently, an automatic, ultra high-resolution mapping system has been presented to accurately and quickly identify right atrial (RA) geometr...
متن کاملMapping of atrial fibrillation.
Cardiac mapping has been defined as: "a method by which cardiac signals are recorded from multiple sites of the heart and spatially depicted as a function of time in an integrated manner". It requires determination of the local activation time at each electrode and the creation of activation maps which provide a spatial model of the activation sequence. With respect to atrial fibrillation, mapp...
متن کاملMapping with Ultrahigh Field Magnetic Resonance: Physics and Frontier Applications
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has become an indispensable clinical tool for the assessment of morphology, function and structure of the heart muscle. By exploiting quantification of the effective transverse relaxation time (T2 ) CMR also affords myocardial tissue characterization and probing of cardiac physiology, both being in the focus of ongoing research. These developments...
