Catheter-based cardiac ablation is the preferred method of treating atrial fibrillation. Conventionally, the catheter is navigated in the heart using X-ray fluoroscopy imaging and an electroanatomical map. Although successful, these imaging modalities do not provide real-time feedback on the quality of lesions created, which in turn could lead to recurrence of arrhythmia. Intracardiac echo (ICE) c...
