Construction of finite element model of left atrial diverticulum based on computed tomography and reverse engineering softwares
2018
: This paper aims to explore the feasibility of building a finite element model of left atrial diverticulum (LAD) using reverse engineering software based on computed tomography (CT) images. The study was based on a three-dimensional cardiac CT images of a atrial fibrillation patient with LAD. The left atrium and LAD anatomical features were accurately reproduced by using Geomagic Studio 12 and Mimics 15 reverse engineering software. In addition, one left atrial model with LAD and one without LAD were created with ANSYS finite element analysis software, and the validity of the two models were verified. The results show that it is feasible to establish the LAD finite element model based on cardiac three-dimensional CT images using reverse engineering software. The results of this paper will lay a theoretical foundation for further hemodynamic analysis of LAD.
