| Abstract: | Background Finite element method (FEM) analysis for intraoperative modeling of the left ventricle (LV) is presently not possible. Since
3D structural data of the LV is now obtainable using standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) devices intraoperatively,
the present study describes a method to transfer this data into a commercially available FEM analysis system: ABAQUS?. |
