Frame-by-frame 3D catheter tracking methods for an inverse geometry cardiac interventional system

The Scanning-Beam Digital X-ray (SBDX) system performs rapid scanning of a narrow x-ray beam using an electronically scanned focal spot and inverse beam geometry. SBDX's ability to perform real-time multi-plane tomosynthesis with high dose efficiency is well-suited to interventional procedures such as left atrial ablation, where precise knowledge of catheter positioning is desired and imaging times are long. We describe and evaluate techniques...
