  • Publication number: 20240156536
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for a system, method, and device for automated detection of focal source locations of electrophysiological activity in an organ. The system, method and device may also be used to guide catheter ablation of the organ. An electrogram signal can be obtained from a location in the organ, and it can be determined if the electrogram is periodic. If so, the corresponding unipolar electrogram can be input to a deep learning neural network classification model trained to generate a unipolar electrogram classification result in response to receiving the unipolar electrogram as an input. The location can be identified as a focal source location or a non-focal source location based on the unipolar electrogram classification result.
