Therefore, we investigated the feasibility and diagnostic performance of the mitral-aortic velocity-time integral(VTI) ratio in isolated MR.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create and assess EMVision, a system utilizing electromagnetic tracking technology to enhance the placement of brachytherapy applicators, focusing on procedure quality and efficiency.
  • EMVision integrates CT imaging and EMT reference frames for precise needle placement, using an automated system that displays real-time 3D visuals and adjusts for anatomy shifts during the procedure.
  • Results showed EMVision achieved high accuracy in needle placement, both in phantom tests and human cadaver evaluations, suggesting its potential to streamline brachytherapy procedures and improve training outcomes.
