Abstract
A 2 chamber-modeling method is developed to reconstruct an anatomic model of left ventricle based on B-mode ultrasound images for three-dimensional numerical analysis of heart hemodynamics. On a basis of the method we developed previously which utilizes multiple planar B-mode images obtained by flapping the probe of echocardiography along the heart centerline, we have further modified it to base our geometric model merely on two mutually vertical B-mode images of left ventricle with consideration of clinical application. The new method enables the implementation of speedup in the computational modeling and is easy for both user and patient. Some preliminary results are presented.
