Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging of Radiofrequency Ablation Lesions for Cardiac Ablation Procedures

<p>This dissertation investigates the use of intraprocedure acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging for visualization of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) lesions during cardiac transcatheter ablation (TCA) procedures. Tens of thousands of TCA procedures are performed annually to treat at...
