A Computational Model of the Heart's Mitral Valve Presurgery

Caption

A computational model of the heart's mitral valve presurgery. The new imaging technology is so accurate, it can be used in a clinical setting to provide patient-specific models, so surgeons can tailor treatments for mitral valve diseases on a case by case basis.
