Summary:
In this study, we employ a novel image processing analysis approach to explore the following hypotheses:
  1. Patient-specific biomarkers of three-dimensional (3D) LAA morphology and 4D (3D+time) function have potential for stroke risk stratification in AF. 
  2. Trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a feasible imaging modality for evaluation of LAA anatomy and function characteristics with added potential to identify and plan for exclusion of LAA thrombi.

Second opinions and medical technology solutions for the Patient.

We offer timely and accurate image processing of radiology images for clinical care, research, and training. 
This is a service brought to you by the MEdical Diagnostics and CArdio-Vascular Engineering Lab.
