Due to their minimal invasiveness catheters are highly preferred in cardiac mapping techniques used in the source localization of rhythm disturbances in the heart. In cardiac mapping, standard steerable catheters and multielectrode basket catheters are the two alternatives for the characterization of the underlying tissue on the inner (endocardium) and outer (epicardium) surfaces of the heart. As with any discrete sampling technique, an important question for catheter-based cardiac mapping is how to determine values at locations from which direct measurements are not available. Interpolation is the most common approach for providing values at unmeasured sites using the available measurements. In this study, the usage of spline interpolation technique in catheter-based cardiac mapping was introduced for the first time in the literature and compared with the existing approaches such as the nearest-neighbor, Laplacian, and Hardy's interpolation techniques. For different sampling resolutions on the endocardium and epicardium, we reconstructed the activation-time values on unmeasured sites using measured values. To provide quantitative validation, we have applied these methods to high resolution simulated activation-time values from a realistic heart model using Aliev-Panfilov mathematical modeling approach. The results show that spline, Laplacian, and Hardy interpolation methods performed successfully and also better than nearest-neighbor method. Among all interpolation schemes except for the nearest-neighbor method the average correlation coefficient (CC) values were greater than 0.985.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a technique that is mostly used to visualize internal structure and most commonly used in medicine. With the advancement on low frequency, low resolution and low cost benchtop systems there has been a substantial increase on the use of these systems. With MRI it is possible to analyze without disturbing the sample. Image acquisition in MRI is based on excitation of protons in a sample through a radiofrequency pulse and acquiring...
The effect of interpolating low amplitude leads on the inverse reconstruction of cardiac electrical activity
Rababah, Ali S.; Bear, Laura R.; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Good, Wilson; Bergquist, Jake; Stoks, Job; MacLeod, Rob; Rjoob, Khaled; Jennings, Michael; Mclaughlin, James; Finlay, Dewar D. (2021-09-01)
Electrocardiographic imaging is an imaging modality that has been introduced recently to help in visualizing the electrical activity of the heart and consequently guide the ablation therapy for ventricular arrhythmias. One of the main challenges of this modality is that the electrocardiographic signals recorded at the torso surface are contaminated with noise from different sources. Low amplitude leads are more affected by noise due to their low peak-to-peak amplitude. In this paper, we have studied 6 datas...
Nonuform pulse repetition interval optimization for pulse doppler radars
Mercan, Hasan; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
In this thesis, a method of optimization of nonuniform pulse repetition interval for pulse Doppler radars is investigated. PRI jittering technique is used for the selection of inter-pulse intervals. An environment with white Gaussian noise and clutter interference is defined and applying generalized likelihood ratio test, a sufficient statistic function for the detection of the target is derived. The effect of jitter set selection on range and Doppler ambiguity resolution and clutter rejection is investigat...
DNA-based assembly of transcription factors for bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assay /
Kazan, Hasan Hüseyin; Özen, Can; Muyan, Mesut; Department of Biotechnology (2015)
Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET) is a promising assay for studying molecular dynamics such as protein-protein interactions especially in situ and in vivo since the system requires precise distance between the molecules. BRET technique has been used for identification of molecular interactions in situ, imaging of deep-tissues in animal models and sensing of organic or inorganic molecules in vitro by combining the luciferase derivative that is an obligatory unit for this assay and any fluoresc...
Measurement of AC magnetic field distribution using magnetic resonance imaging
Ider, YZ; Muftuler, LT (1997-10-01)
Electric currents are applied to body in numerous applications in medicine such as electrical impedance tomography, cardiac defibrillation, electrocautery, and physiotherapy. If the magnetic field within a region is measured, the currents generating these fields can be calculated using the curl operator. In this study, magnetic fields generated within a phantom by currents passing through an external wire is measured using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, A pulse sequence that is originally design...
