Improving Catheter Segmentation & Localization in 3D Cardiac Ultrasound Using Direction-Fused FCN [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Fast and accurate catheter detection in cardiac catheterization using harmless 3D ultrasound (US) can improve the efficiency and outcome of the intervention. However, the low image quality of US requires extra training for sonographers to localize the catheter.

In-Vitro MPI-Guided IVOCT Catheter Tracking in Real Time for Motion Artifact Compensation [PDF]
, 2019 Purpose: Using 4D magnetic particle imaging (MPI), intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) catheters are tracked in real time in order to compensate for image artifacts related to relative motion. Our approach demonstrates the feasibility for bimodal IVOCT and MPI in-vitro experiments. Material and Methods: During IVOCT imaging of a stenosis

Double-balloon catheter for induction of labor in 362 women with and without prior cesarean section
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology: X, 2019 Objective: Balloon catheter is the preferred method for induction of labor in women with prior cesarean section. We sought to evaluate the rate of vaginal delivery, induction-delivery time and outcome predictors after induction with double-balloon ...

GuideLiner Balloon Assisted Tracking (GBAT): A New Addition to the Interventional Toolbox
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2016 The use of guide extension catheters, such as GuideLiner, allows for increased guide support and facilitates device delivery in tortuous vessels. In cases which the GuideLiner catheter cannot be advanced even with balloon anchoring technique, we inflate ...

3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance [PDF]
P. Fallavollita, " 3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images
for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance", International Journal of Computer
Science Issues, IJCSI, Volume 4, Issue 2, pp10-19, September 2009", 2009 Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has transformed treatment for tachyarrhythmias and has become first-line therapy for some tachycardias. The precise localization of the arrhythmogenic site and the positioning of the RF catheter over that site are problematic: they can impair the efficiency of the procedure and are time consuming (several hours ...
