| Abstract | Recently, serious health risks to recipients of pacemakers due to the failure and fracture of structural pacemaker components has placed an emphasis on the need for methods of evaluating pacemaker components in vivo. In order to facilitate these evaluations, the authors have developed methods for determination of the in-vivo 3D positions of pacemaker leads during the entire heart cycle. Sequences of biplane images of patients with pacemakers were obtained at 30 frames/sec for each projection. The sequences usually included at least two heart cycles. After patient imaging, biplane images of a calibration object were obtained from which the biplane imaging geometry was determined. The centerlines of the leads were indicated manually for all acquired images. These lead data were interpolated temporally so that the temporal non-synchronicity of the image acquisition was overcome. Epipolar lines, generated from the calculated geometry, were used to adjust the temporally interpolated data based on known consistencies of simultaneously acquired images. The 3D positions of the leads were then calculated using the calculated geometry and point correspondences between leads in simultaneous projections using an epipolar technique. Calculated results indicate that an accurate estimate of the shapes and positions of pacemaker leads throughout the heart cycle can be determined, providing a reliable basis for the needed stress analysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
