Abstract

Cardiac surgery continues to evolve in response to advances in technology, patient demands, and healthcare reimbursement. The development of minimally invasive operative techniques and laser technology has enhanced the therapeutic armamentarium available to the cardiac surgeon. Advances in biomaterial development will see the artificial heart in clinical trials by the millennium.

3D heart model for computer simulations in cardiac surgery.

For a satisfactory computer simulation, a model, which imitates a natural situation, is needed. The Human heart is an irregular 3D object and thus difficult to reproduce. Basic data was taken from Visible Human Dataset (VHD), National Library of Medicine. The heart area was cut out of the original cross-sections and different tissues segmented. All the slices also had to be aligned to assure precise overlapping of the structures. A 3D computer heart model with the resolution of 1mm was designed. The heart model was dedicated to simulations of heat transfer during heart surgery however, it is applicable also to other medical simulations.
