Cardiac MR (CMR) shows promise for the guidance of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation procedures and imaging of ablation lesions. CMR-thermometry is a promising approach for real-time tissue temperature monitoring and tissue characterization for prediction of permanent ablation lesions. In this study, we sought to develop an integrated multi-parametric framework for real-time, hyper-acute and acute imaging of ablation lesions using CMR-thermometry, native T1 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), respectively. This framework is evaluated during MR-guided epicardial ventricular ablation in swine.
