Example of automated segmentation and 3D modeling of a patient’s abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) from a CT scan for procedure pre-planning or to a print 3D model using the Materialise Mimics software at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2024 meeting.

An example of fetal cardiac gating to produce enhanced 4D imaging of fetal blood flow imaging on MRI using sensors worn by the mother during an MRI scan. The technology was shown by Northh Medical at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2024 meeting this week in Chicago. It uses an ultrasound transducer positioned in a location where it can receive heart-beat and a systolic contraction signal.

Cleerly AI coronary plaque assessment from CCTA scan
An example of Cleerly’s artificial intelligence (AI) coronary plaque assessment software from a patient CT scan demonstrated today at the American Heart Association (AHA) 2024 scientific sessions in Chicago.
This shows the AI automatically reformatting the images for a multiplaner view of each coronary artery, creation of a segmented coronary tree, assessment of three types of coronary plaque including 3D quantification, cross section views of each coronary, and standard CT views. The reformatted straightened coronary segments can be rotated to show the 3D nature of the plaques.
These views and measurements can allow preplanning of PCI procedures. There was a large amount of interest in the technology at the 2024 TCT interventional cardiology conference last month.
The Cleerly AI creates an automated report with images and a large number of measurements that is sent to PACS that the referring physician receives and they can show the patient so they better understand their disease.

AI showing source of mitral regurgitation jets on echo
This is an example of artificial intelligence (AI) image reformatting to show the location of mitral valve regurgitation jets to better pinpoint the exact leaflet commissure cusp. It can more easily show the exact location that on Doppler flow echo where the flash of the color and jet cover the source location.

Demo showing use of internal jugular (IJ) vein access for the insertion of an Abiomed Impella RP Flex heart pump at TCT 2024. Abiomed said there are increasing numbers of centers that want to use IJ access for the right heart hemodynamic support pump, so the vendor developed a flexible version of the RP that called the RP Flex that enables easier IJ insertion.
The demo helps show how the RP sits in the right heart anatomy, which is difficult to visualize from 2D photos.
The RP Flex is currently available and may replace the more rigid, traditional RP. Read more: https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/clinical/heart-failure/surgeons-make-history-become-first-world-implant-abiomeds-new-heart

Example of 3D TEE with Evoque tricuspid Transcatheter valve
This is an Edwards Lifesciences Evoque Transcatheter tricuspid valve visualized on 3D transesophageal echo (TEE) using the newest version of the Philips Epiq system at #TCT2024.
Virtonomy.io blood flow modeling
Blood flow computer modeling inside the heart to check if there is flow into the left atrial appendage (LAA) that has been occluded using an Amulet device. Shown by the vendor Virtonomy.io at #TCT2024.
Demonstration at TCT of the new Heartflow AI that automatically assesses plaque burden in the coronary arteries, the type of plaque and can be toggled back and forth with FFR-CT. It enables interventional cardiologists a better way to assess the arteries and preplan PCI procedures based off CT scans.
The purple areas on the gray coronary tree inage reconstruction are highlighted as areas of interest. The AI creates reformatted views of the coronary arteries as straight vessels for easier assessment and shows both soft and calcified plaques. A third cross sectional view shows a color coded view of the plaque based on CT Hounsfield units. Purple areas on the plaqu cross sections are low attenuation lipid core, vulnerable plaques.

Use of an AI ge erased digital twin in cardiac electrophysiology at HRS 2024
From a CT scan an interactive model can be created of a patient’s heart to better understand the electrical substrates of the tissue and identify areas of arrhythmias for ablation procedure pre-planning. This technology was displayed by InHeart at the Heart Rhythm Society 2024 meeting. #HRS2024 #EPeeps
