From: 311 Finite element modeling integration of cardiac MRI structure and function
Finite element modeling allows the integration of physiological and biomechanical information from MRI into a coherent model. This enables complex predictions and analysis to be performed. An example of tagging, diffusion and pressure information from a dog is presented. (a) MRI tagged image at end-diastole, (b) DTI image of approximately the same slice, (c) finite element model fitted to tagged image surface points, and (d) DTMRI fibre field warped to match geometric model.
