Goal: We present a model-based feature augmentation scheme to improve the performance of a learning algorithm for the detection of cardiac radio-frequency ablation (RFA) targets with respect to learning from images alone. Methods: Initially, we compute image features from delayed-enhanced MRI (DE-MRI) to describe local tissue heterogeneities...

Image Integration-Guided VT Ablation. Background: Although multi-detector computed tomog-raphy (MDCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can assess the structural substrate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), non-ICM (NICM), and arrhythmogenic right ventric-ular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), the usefulness of systematic...
