Abstract:
Quantitative and visual evaluation of the aortic root from CT derived multiplanar images is potentially affected by approximation errors and measurement inaccuracies. Volumetric display provides comprehensive morphologic and dynamic information, however it is difficult to obtain precise measurements of root dimensions or leaflets dynamics. We introduce a 4D model for quantitative evaluation of the aortic root, based on patient specific volumetric data sets.
