| abstract |
An apparatus for providing patient selection and treatment guidance for ablation treatments, in particular renal denervation treatment, is provided which is adapted to derive, from two time series of diagnostic images indicative of two states of the patient, two dynamics measures in order to determine at least one index indicative of the relative difference between the first state and the second state. Based on the at least one index, it is possible to track the progression of the ablation treatment and determine if it has been completed. Further, the index may be used to select likely responders to the ablation treatment. |
