Electrophysiology (EP Planning) Software Package
Electrophysiology measures the electrical activity of the heart which defines its pulses and rhythms. This CT study is essential when it comes to identifying the changes in electrical activity that occur during ischemia and arrhythmia and for planning ablation procedures. The EP Planning software package is designed to provide assistance in planning and assessing the impact of electrophysiology studies.

Simplifying complex procedures with EP Navigator
The Philips EP Navigator is a new tool dedicated to electrophysiology, designed to help clinicians undertake atrial fibrillation procedures, done by ablation around the pulmonary veins, in a faster and more secure way. EP doctors frequently have the feeling of "navigating in the dark". By including CT segmentation and CT/fluoro overlays, the EP Navigator offers a tool to better locate the position of the catheter within the left atrium in 3D during the procedure. The electrophysiologist loses less time and can better concentrate on the ablation itself.
