Abstract

Heart disease can be determined by the calculating regional and global wall motion of the left ventricular (LV). In this research, we designed a dynamic simulation tool using Computed Tomography (CT) images that helps to find the difference between actual and simulated left ventricular functions. In this study, thirteen healthy subjects were involved with actual and simulated left ventricular functions. We obtained the high correlation between actual left ventricular wall motion (ALVWM) and simulated left ventricular wall motion (SLVWM) which is (r = 0.99). Our results validate that our simulation tool is feasible for simulating left ventricular motion.
