Standardization of quantification for left-atrial scar will allow the selection of patients who are predicted to respond well to ablation procedures for cardiac arrhythmias. This could improve the success rate of such procedures and reduce recurrence of arrhythmias. An algorithm to standardize quantification is proposed.
