These 3-dimensional reconstructions have been created from magnetic resolution images of gelled perfusion fixed hearts from the Visible Heart® library using Mimics (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium), see Static Imaging Methodologies for more information on this process. The blood volumes of each chamber were segmented out from the raw DICOM images and constructed into 3D models of the specimens. The videos you see in these pages were created by positioning the models in the attitudinally correct orientation, with respect to the anterior posterior reference plane, and subsequently rotating the model around the superior inferior axis.

The specimens of the Visible Heart® library have been categorized into hypertrophic, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and healthy specimens by assessing the medical histories and the anatomical structure of each specimen. From a purely anatomical perspective the heart of a DCM patient is typically associated with large ventricular volumes and relatively low wall thicknesses and the heart of a hypertrophic patient usually exhibits smaller ventricular volumes and large wall thicknesses.

Estas reconstrucciones tridimensionales se han creado a partir de imágenes de resonancia magnética de corazones fijados con perfusión gelificada de la biblioteca Visible Heart® utilizando Mimics (Materialise, Lovaina, Bélgica); consulte Metodologías de imágenes estáticas para obtener más información sobre este proceso. Los volúmenes sanguíneos de cada cámara se segmentaron a partir de las imágenes DICOM sin procesar y se construyeron en modelos 3D. Los videos que ve en estas páginas fueron creados colocando los corazones en la posición anatómica correcta con respecto al plano de referencia anteroposterior, y posteriormente rotando el modelo alrededor del eje superior inferior.

Los modelos de la biblioteca Visible Heart® se han clasificado en modelos con hipertrofia, miocardiopatía dilatada (MCD) y muestras sanas mediante la evaluación de los antecedentes médicos y la estructura anatómica de cada muestra. Desde una perspectiva anatómica, el corazón de un paciente con MCD se asocia típicamente con grandes volúmenes ventriculares y espesores de pared relativamente bajos, y el corazón de un paciente con hipertrofia generalmente exhibe volúmenes ventriculares más pequeños y espesores de pared gruesos.
