    Abstract: A catheter (32) is disclosed that comprises an expansion element (34b) comprising a plurality of electrodes (36 1-N). The expansion element is configured to expand within a heart chamber so that at least a portion of the plurality of electrodes contact a wall of the chamber and a plurality of electrograms can be determined at substantially the same time in response to an electrical perturbation. The catheter may comprise pacing electrodes (82 1-M) to provide the perturbation. An activation map of the chamber can be determined based on the plurality of electrograms. Based on the activation map, a location and a shape of a mechanism of action of an arrhythmia can be determined and a treatment plan can be developed. For example, the treatment plan can include guiding an ablation of the mechanism of action.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a model relating parameters generated via a first molecular imaging modality to parameters generated via a second molecular imaging modality. First and second feature extractors extract, from images of a region of interest obtained via respective first and second molecular imaging modalities, respective sets of parameters for respective first and second sets of locations. A mapping component associates respective locations of the first and second sets of locations according to their spatial relationship within the region of interest to produce a training set. Each example in the training set comprises a set of parameters associated with a location in the first set of locations and a set of parameters associated with a location in the second set. A modeling component generates a predictive model relating the parameters associated with the first modality with at least one parameter associated with the second modality.
