From 4D Medical Images (CT, MRI, and Ultrasound) to 4D Structured Mesh Models of the Left Ventricular Endocardium for Patient-Specific Simulations

Figure 1

The workflow used for the three different 4D datasets is reported: CT and MRI datasets are segmented by using the Materialise MimicsĀ® CT Heart tool, whereas the US images are segmented via an in-house code developed in PyFormex, a python-based software environment. The morphing is performed with algorithms that rely on isoparametric transformations.
