Myocardial characterization using late enhancement photon-counting detector CT in ventricular arrhythmia: comparison with electroanatomical mapping
Cardiac late enhancement imaging with photon-counting detector CT may enable characterization of pathologic myocardial segments in ventricular arrhythmia. Myocardial extracellular volume and thickness representations yield good agreement with unipolar endocardial electroanatomical mapping, particularly in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular myocardial characterization is feasible with late enhancement photon-counting detector CT and may complement invasive radiofrequency catheter ablations.
