Abstract
Background: Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has many possible applications including guiding RF ablation procedures and visualization of cardiac anatomy and pathology. Compared to standard 2-dimensional imaging, 3-dimensional echocardiography may provide additional clinical utility. To assess this we compared real-time 3-dimensional ICE images (Volumetrics Medical Imaging) to simultaneously captured real-time video images in an isolated four-chamber working swine heart. Methods: Utilizing standard cardiac surgery procedures, the heart was explanted to an isolated heart apparatus and reanimated.
