Background: Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) is performed with intracardiac or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance. ASDs often have an elliptical shape and 2D imaging may underestimate the maximum diameter. Three-dimensional (3D) TEE using reconstructed gated acquisitions in multiple planes is a time-consuming process limited by motion artifact, making it impractical for intra-procedural use. Recently, a matrix array TEE capable of real-time 3D (RT3D) imaging has been developed (Philips Medical Systems). Methods: Two-dimensional, Doppler and RT3D TEE images were acquired in 5 patients undergoing ASD closure. Device selection was based on the maximum diameter of the ASD measured by 2D imaging. RT3D images were analyzed using commercially available software (QLab, Philips). The maximum diameter was measured and compared to 2D. Results: The mean maximum diameter was 1.6 ± 0.8 cm using 2D imaging and 2.0 ± 1.1 cm using RT3D images (p=0.16). In the 3 patients with ASDs >2 cm, the maximum diameter was 2.2 ± 0.1 cm by 2D imaging compared to 2.8 ± 0.3 cm by RT3D imaging (p=0.02), an underestimate of 20.7 ± 12.2 %. In the remaining 2 patients with ASDs <1.2 cm, there was good agreement between 2D and 3D measurements. In the 2 patients with the largest discrepancy between 2D and 3D measurements, the initial device selected was retrieved prior to catheter release, due to significant residual shunting or instability along the septum, requiring placement of a larger device. Conclusion: RT3D TEE during transcatheter ASD closure is feasible and may improve defect sizing and device selection during transcatheter ASD closure.

Deep-directional electromagnetic (EM) logging-while-drilling technology can map reservoir boundaries and fluid contacts for strategic geosteering, reservoir navigation, and more recently, for reservoir characterization. The inversion-based resistivity mapping is used to make real-time geosteering decisions and to refine and update the reservoir model during and after drilling. Traditional 1D and 2D inversion approaches ignore the lateral changes of the reservoir, which are contained in the azimuthally sensitive measurements and only provide a longitudinal 2D representation of the 3D reservoir structure around the well. A new 2D lateral imaging inversion uses the full azimuthal sensitivity of the measurements to map the vertical and lateral resistivity heterogeneities around the wellbore. A 2.5D EM solver is run in a Gauss-Newton optimization to reconstruct the measurements in complex scenarios and determine the 2D anisotropic resistivity distribution in an imaging plane along with the orientation of the formation invariant direction with respect to the wellbore. Continuous 2D imaging along the well path generates a 3D reservoir resistivity map in the proximity of the wellbore.
