In atrial fibrillation, electro-anatomical maps (EAM) are used for ablation guidance. Yet, the anatomy reconstructed by the navigation system is known to be poorly accurate. This makes catheter navigation challenging and, as such, might affects ablation’s outcome. To ease navigation, existing systems allow co-registering EAMs with pre-operative MR scans by rigidly matching a set of manual landmarks. Nevertheless, the deformation between the two datasets is highly non-rigid. The aim of this work was therefore to develop a framework for the non-rigid alignment of EAMs and anatomical scans to improve ablation guidance.

Abstract: | In atrial fibrillation, electro-anatomical maps (EAM) are used for ablation guidance. Yet, the anatomy reconstructed by the navigation system is known to be poorly accurate. This makes catheter navigation challenging and, as such, might affects ablation’s outcome. To ease navigation, existing systems allow co-registering EAMs with pre-operative MR scans by rigidly matching a set of manual landmarks. Nevertheless, the deformation between the two datasets is highly non-rigid. The aim of this work was therefore to develop a framework for the non-rigid alignment of EAMs and anatomical scans to improve ablation guidance. |
