A method for planning biventricular pacing lead placement for a patient
includes obtaining acquisition data from a medical imaging system and
generating a 3D model of the left ventricle and thoracic wall of the
patient. One or more left ventricle anatomical landmarks are identified
on the 3D model, and saved views of the 3D model are registered on an
interventional system. One or more of the registered saved views are
visualized with the interventional system, and at least one suitable
region on the left ventricle wall is identified for epicardial lead
placement.
