Seminar: Heart Valve Modeling and Therapy

Razvan IONASEC will present his research the Monday, February 17th, 2014 at the amphitheater "Lindbergh", IRCAD.

Title: Heart Valve Modeling and Therapy

Abstract: As decisions cardiology increasingly rely on non-invasive methods, fast and precise imaging analysis tools have become crucial components of the clinical workflow. This is especially relevant when dealing with complex cardiovascular disorders such as valvular heart disease. This talk focuses on two aspects: 1) patient-specific biomechanical modeling and automated parameter estimation and 2) pre-operative and intra-operative image fusion systems
