Developed a method to remove the trabeculae and the ventricle papillary muscles from the segmentation of the DTI images. This tool allows for accurate measurement of the myofiber helix angle. The swine helix angle is linearly varies from the ventricle endocardium to the epicardium.
The statistical analysis of the myofiber angle for (A) the swine subject (A) and (B) the swine subject (B).
wall thickness and helix angle distribution are shown on a 2D flattened polar plot of swine subject (A). (A) Swine Subject (A) 3D endocardial surface with wall-thickness contour, (B) 2D-flattened wall thickness contour, (C) 2D-flattened helix angle at the subendocardial surface, and (D) 2D-flattened helix angle at the subepicardial surface. White and black curves represent the marking of right ventricle anterior and interior insertion points, respectively.
