Image-Based Structural Modeling of the Cardiac Purkinje Network

Figure 6

The left and right rabbit ventricular endocardial surfaces and associated curve and cylinder chosen to approximate the surface. (a, c) The left and right, respectively, endocardial surfaces (grey), the associated approximating cylinder (transparent), and surface contour lines taken at various levels of the surface. Both views of the surfaces are facing the septum wall. (b) The approximating curves and the resulting curvilinear coordinate system plotted against the same contour lines taken from the endocardial surfaces.
