Valve Modeling

Our current work consists in isolating structures of interest (e.g. mitral valve) from 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic data to create computerized 3-D models that can be 3D printed with commercially available printers. Potential short-term uses for this technology include in vitro...
