CMR and MRI-Compatible Multi-Lead ECG

CMR and MRI-compatible ECG registrations focus on integrating advanced imaging techniques with accurate and artifact-free ECG measurements in the MRI environment. These methods enable the simultaneous study of the heart's structural, functional, and electrical properties, providing deeper insights into cardiac conditions. MRI-compatible ECG systems overcome the challenges posed by the MRI environment, such as magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects and gradient-induced artifacts, ensuring reliable data acquisition. This integration enhances the diagnosis of arrhythmias, improves the precision of cardiac interventions, and facilitates the development of novel therapeutic approaches, pushing the boundaries of cardiac research and clinical care.

Translational Research

Translational research using pig hearts bridges the gap between basic science and clinical applications by providing a realistic and controlled model to study cardiac function and interventions. Pig hearts closely mimic human cardiac anatomy and physiology, making them ideal for testing MRI-compatible ECG systems, assessing device compatibility, and refining imaging techniques. This research ensures safe translation of technological advancements into clinical practice. By integrating computational cardiology, imaging, and experimental studies, translational research accelerates the development of personalized treatment strategies for cardiac patients.

12-Lead ECG Registrations

12-lead ECG registrations in the MRI environment enable simultaneous recording of electrical activity and imaging of the heart, facilitating comprehensive evaluation of cardiac conditions. These systems address the challenges of MRI-induced artifacts, such as MHD effects, ensuring accurate and reliable ECG data. By combining advanced hardware and computational algorithms, MRI-compatible ECG systems are instrumental in diagnosing arrhythmias, monitoring cardiac function during iCMR, and evaluating therapeutic outcomes. This integration bridges imaging and electrophysiology, paving the way for personalized treatments and advancing the field of cardiac care.
