Abstract
Ablation guided by focal impulse and rotor mapping (FIRM) is a novel treatment option for atrial fibrillation, a frequent heart arrhythmia. This procedure is performed minimally invasively and at least partially under fluoroscopic guidance. It involves a basket catheter comprising 64 electrodes. The 3-D position of these electrodes is important during treatment. We propose a novel model-based method for 3-D reconstruction of this catheter using two X-ray images taken from different views. Our approach requires only little user interaction. An evaluation of the method found that the electrodes of the basket catheter can be reconstructed with a median error of 1.5 mm for phantom data and 3.4 mm for clinical data.
