A NUMERICAL METHOD AND PATIENT-SPECIFIC BIOSTRUCTURAL IMAGE ANALYSIS FOR DETECTING THE IRREVERSIBLE CHANGES IN MYOCARDIAL FIBERS AND PROPOSING PERMISSIBLE MAGNIFICATION FACTOR FORTHE CARDIAC SOFT TISSUES UNDER PHYSIOLOGICAL CYCLIC LOAD

摘要

A numerical mechanical method, image processing technic and computer programproductare provided for detecting when the changes in heart myocardial fibers will beirreversibleas the critical point which refers the patients for intervention before theirreversible changesoccur. The patent related a method to estimate the nonlinear behavior ofventricular softtissues for patient-specific to predict the propagation of growth andremodeling usingnon-invasive imaging.
