                  sources and atrial propagation occurring simultaneously
                  during ongoing atrial fibrillation (AF).  We report the
                  feasibility of noninvasive panoramic mapping of human AF
                  mechanisms and its validation by successful ablation. We used
                  a commercially available mapping system using an array of 252
                  body surface electrodes and noncontrast thoracic CT scan to
                  obtain high-resolution images of the biatrial geometry and
                  the relative electrode positions. On the surface unipolar
                  electrograms acquired during AF we developed specific
                  signal-analysis process combining filtering, wavelet
                  transform, and phase mapping. At least 5 windows with
                  spontaneous, long ventricular pauses were selected for
                  mapping. The incidence, location and characteristics of
                  localized sources (foci and rotors) were assessed on the
                  cumulative duration of all recorded windows.  This report
                  demonstrates the feasibility of noninvasive panoramic mapping
                  of AF in identifying active sources, which include unstable
                  rotors and PV foci, and its validation by ablation results.",
