TrueGrid® Mesh of the Human Heart
Over the years, more than one model of the human heart has been built
using TrueGrid®. This is the earliest
model, dating back to the mid-90s. The original data was obtained
experimentally and then converted into polygonal surfaces before
being read into TrueGrid®.
More recently, researchers at Duke University have produced a model of
portions of the human heart as they analyze the propagation of electrical
current flow. They also began with polygonal surface data.
Their
results
have been published in the on-line Journal of
Circulation Research, sponsored by the American Heart Association. Back to BioMechanical Meshes
