3D Image-Based Computational Modeling for Patient-Specific Mechanical Analysis of Human Heart Right Ventricles

چکیده
Right ventricular dysfunction is one of the more common causes of heart failure in patients with congenital heart defects. Use of computer-assisted procedures is becoming more and more popular in clinical decision making process and computer-aided surgeries. In this paper, a MRI-based patient-specific 3D computational model with fluid-structure interactions (FSI) for human right ventricle (RV) is introduced to perform mechanical analysis of flow and stress/strain distributions in RV. RV morphology and motion of a healthy human volunteer were acquired by using planar tagged MRI. The FSI model was solved using a commercial finite element package ADINA and preliminary results are presented. Our final goal is to use computational simulations to replace empirical and often risky clinical experimentation to examine the efficiency and suitability of various reconstructive procedures in diseased hearts so that optimal design can be found.

Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...

متن کاملAutomated Model-Based Segmentation of the Left and Right Ventricles in Tagged Cardiac MRI
We describe an automated, model-based method to segment the left and right ventricles in 4D tagged MR. We fit 3D epicardial and endocardial surface models to ventricle features we extract from the image data. Excellent segmentation is achieved using novel methods that (1) initialize the models and (2) that compute 3D model forces from 2D tagged MR images. The 3D forces guide the models to patie...
