This Post was by the EMCrit Crew, published 10 years ago. We never spam; we hate spammers! Spammers probably work for the Joint Commission.
A good follow-on to that article would be Agullera et al’s “Radiography of Cardiac Conduction Devices: A Comprehensive Review” (Chest and Cardiac Imaging, 2011, doi:10.1148/rg.316115529). I believe LITFL’s R&R put me onto it. Covers recognition of basic pacemaker/ICD types on X-Rays, along with lead types, determining if leads are connected/fractured, etc.
fantastic as always, Christopher! Moved it up to the main post.
Little bit late to the game, but we built a deep learning image classification app for this very problem (identifying the various pacemakers) for iOS and on the web. You can check it out here: http://www.pacemakerid.com/
