| Abstract | Enhanced computed tomography (CT) is unsuitable for patients with reduced renal function and/or allergy for contrast medium (CM). CT image registration into an electroanatomic system (EAMS) is essential to perform pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) safely and smoothly in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). To create three-dimensional pulmonary vein-left atrium (3D PV-LA) images from non-enhanced CT images to register them into EAMS for AF ablation. Using a non-enhanced ECG-gated image, 3D PV-LA images were generated by our developed techniques with an EnSite image analyzing tool for patients unfit for CM use (n = 100). Segmentation between tissues was performed as follows: tissues distal from or close to PV-LA were segmented in transverse slices to clearly show the whole LA. Tissues bordering PV-LA, including the pulmonary artery, left ventricle, and right atrium, were segmented manually with great care. Practical ablation parameters were compared with those obtained from enhanced CT (n = 100). 3D PV-LA image reconstruction from non-enhanced CT imaging required a longer time than that from enhanced CT (42 ± 6 vs 14 ± 3 min). All 100 PV-LA non-enhanced CT images were successfully reconstructed and registered into the EAM system without the need for re-segmentation. Practical ablation parameters, including procedural time and AF recurrence rate, did not differ between imaging methods. This study provides clinically useful information on a detailed methodology for 3D PV-LA image reconstruction using non-enhanced CT. Non-enhanced CT 3D PV-LA images were successfully registered into the EAM system and useful for patients unsuitable for CM use. |
