Advanced Imaging Integration Module Now Available For Cardiac Arrhythmias

Medical software and hardware needs to integrate just as desktop and other computer software...this unit will import from Siemens ICE images...and includes 3D mapping...better real time diagnostics keep getting better..BD

Electrophysiologists now have access to the latest technology from Biosense Webster, Inc. to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The CARTOSOUND Image Integration module with the new SOUNDSTAR 3D Catheter can now be used with the CARTO XP Navigation System. The new CARTOSOUND Module with the new System Software 2007, is the first ever integration of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with 3-D mapping.

The CARTOSOUND™ Module integrates real time ICE images from the Siemens ACUSON® Sequoia™ and Cypress™ ultrasound systems using the novel SOUNDSTAR™ 3D Catheter with the CARTO® XP EP Navigation System. This ultrasound catheter utilizes an embedded position sensor to display location and beam orientation on the CARTO® XP System, which enhances visualization of ICE images and ablation catheter location. Additionally, using the CARTOSOUND™ Module with the SOUNDSTAR™ 3D Catheter in conjunction with the CARTOMERGE® Image Integration Module combines the anatomic details of a pre-acquired CT or MRI image with real time ICE.
