Title: Minimally Invasive Image-Guided Therapy: Cardiovascular Applications
Description: Image-guided therapy (IGT) involves the integration of multiple medical device technologies and convergence with biotechnology for particular applications. IGT aims to help the physician improve efficacy and reduce morbidity of interventions by providing intra-operative image based anatomic and physiologic information in real time. The interventional cardiology and electrophysiology segments incorporate a diversity of IGT technologies for the treatment of numerous diseases, including coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, and cardiac arrhythmias. The dynamic and growing use of IGT technologies in these cardiovascular spaces is driven in part by an aging population, current treatments having poor efficacy, cost factors, and reductions in complications and recovery times. The state of the art continues to evolve as interventionalists and medical device manufacturers advance both technique and device in the pursuit of better clinical outcomes. This seminar comprises an overview of minimally invasive image-guided therapy for cardiovascular applications with emphasis on ultrasound-based image guidance technologies.
