    Abstract: The invention relates to electrophysiology catheter systems and their use, such as in an MRI environment, and in particular to analysis of electric signals from such. An electrophysiology (EP) catheter with a plurality of electrically isolated electrode segments arranged in longitudinally spaced bands around the catheter is used to detect electric signals. A workstation receives the electrical signals which are then processed by a processing unit. Electric signals from electrode segments can be used to determine roll angle information of the catheter in relation to patient anatomy by determining signals from electrode segments in contact with tissue. Also, electric signals can be used to extract a reference signal that can be used to correct for gradient induced artefacts.

    Abstract: A transmission path (13) for transmitting high frequency (RF) signals is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of lead segments (20, 21, 22) which are coupled to one another on one end by a capacitive coupling element (30) and on the other end by an inductive coupling element (31) and which each have an effective length of approximately ? i /4, wherein ? i is the wavelength of a differential mode signal to be transmitted over the path (13). By providing these element (30, 31) in the form of distributed elements which electrically extend over at least a part of adjacent lead segments (20, 21; 21, 22) a very thin transmission path (13) can be realized, which is especially suitable for use with invasive catheters. Furthermore, this path (13) can be guided through RF fields of a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system because common mode resonances are effectively suppressed.
