Epicardial catheter ablation is necessary to address ventricular tachycardia targets located far from the endocardium, but epicardial adipose tissue and coronary blood vessels can complicate ablation. We demonstrate that catheter-based near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can identify these obstacles to guide ablation. Eighteen human ventricles were mapped ex vivo using NIRS catheters with optical source-detector separations (SDSs) of 0.

The work relative value unit (wRVU) measures the physician's work involved in performing a service and is commonly used to quantify physician productivity. A critical component factored in wRVUs is the time required to perform a service. In musculoskeletal radiology, this time correlates directly with the number of images produced per radiograph.
