Centerline Tracking for Quantification of Reverse Structural Remodeling of the Pulmonary Veins Following Cardiac Ablation Therapy

Quantitative analysis along the length of the pulmonary veins can be accomplished using centerline tracking and measurements from orthogonal planes along the curve. The patient study demonstrated that reverse structural remodeling following ablation therapy occurs not only at the ostia but for several centimeters extending into the pulmonary veins.
