Abstract

Systems and methods for left atrial appendage closure device specification from two dimensional (2D) Intracardiac Echo imaging (ICE). In an imaging procedure, 2D ICE is used to acquire images of the left atrium of a patient. A model of the left atrium is generated from the images of the left atrium. The model of the left atrium is used to validate subsequent imaging of the left atrial appendage of the patient. Anatomical measurements from the validated subsequent imaging may be used to select or specify a left atrial appendage closure device in order to, for example, treat atrial fibrillation patients.
