Open‐chest cardiac ultrasound‐mediated imaging with a vacuum coupler
Epicardial US-mediated imaging with a vacuum coupler reduces cardiac motion artifact, providing a consistent sampling of an intended region of interest (ROI) over multiple cardiac cycles. This could help facilitate the development of advanced US-mediated imaging, which is often hindered by cardiac motion. Stable implementation of these imaging techniques could allow for intra-operative assessments of local cardiac perfusion as well as tissue characterization.
