3-D images show position of catheter in tubular vessel position corresponding to that in the fluoroscopic image. Various cross sectional views of the body at the region of the catheter tip are also provided. These views include MRI, CT as well as cardaver coronal, transverse and sagittel sections. Select catheter insertion point and its moving direction from panel. Navigation User chooses forward, backward or rotational options to move catheter along the fluoroscopic background.
Demonstrations show the independent or combined moves of catheter and guidewire.
Simulations of contrast injection and road map images are also presented. Catheter Navigation An overview of the Catheter Navigation and its capabilities. A CAD-integrated system for Catheter Design. A catheter is navigated into the heart. A catheter is navigated from the right subclavian to brachiocephalic.
