Advanced cardiac modeling studies rely on the ability to generate and functionalize personalized models from tomographic multi-label image stacks. Eventually, this is used for building virtual cohorts that capture the variability in size, shape, and morphology of individual hearts. Typical modeling workflows involve a multitude of interactive mesh manipulation steps, rendering model generation expensive. Meshtool is software specifically designed for automating all complex mesh manipulation tasks emerging in such workflows by implementing algorithms for tasks describable as operations on label fields and/or geometric features. We illustrate how Meshtool increases efficiency and reduces costs by offering an automatable, high performance mesh manipulation toolbox.
先进的心脏建模研究依赖于从断层多标签图像堆栈生成个性化模型并使其功能化的能力。最终,这被用于构建虚拟队列,以捕捉个体心脏在大小、形状和形态上的变异性。典型的建模工作流程涉及大量交互式网格操作步骤,使得模型生成成本高昂。Meshtool是一款专门设计的软件,通过为可描述为标签字段和/或几何特征操作的任务实现算法,自动执行此类工作流程中出现的所有复杂网格操作任务。我们展示了Meshtool如何通过提供一个可自动化的高性能网格操作工具箱来提高效率并降低成本。
