✦ Synopsis
The objective of this paper is twofold: (i) to show how multislice computed tomography (MSCT) data sets bring the information required for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) planning; (ii) to demonstrate the feasibility of 3D navigation into the veins where left ventricular leads have to be placed. The former has been achieved by exploring and labelling the cardiac structures of concern, the latter has been performed by using the concept of virtual navigation with high resolution surface detection and estimation algorithms.
