Three-dimensional hybrid guidance system for cardiac interventional procedures

Participants

Dr. YingLiang Ma

Summary

To develop this system, we will use advanced computer vision techniques to detect devices and extract 3D blood vessel models from X-ray images, and then fuse these with existing 3D models inside the cardiac mapping system to provide the completed information to guide the procedure. Our proposed system will significantly reduce X-ray radiation exposure. This will benefit patients as X-ray radiation might cause the cancer in their later life. Furthermore, our proposed system will shorten the procedure time and reduce the cost of treatment for cardiovascular diseases.
