Aortic roots assessment by an automated three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography: an intra-individual comparison.

Int J Cardiovasc Imaging

To evaluate the accuracy, reproducibility, and transcatheter heart valve (THV) sizing efficiency of an automated 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic (3D-TEE) post-processing software in the assessments of aortic roots, intra-individually compared with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). We prospectively studied 67 patients with normal aortic roots. We measured diameters of aortic annulus (AA), sinus of Valsalva (SOV), and sino-tubular junction (STJ) by full-automated and semi-automated methods using 3D-TEE datasets, then compared them to corresponding transthoracic echocardiography and MDCT values.

The aims of this study were to introduce and validate a novel computationally-efficient subject-specific tibiofemoral joint model. Subjects performed a quasi-static lunge while micro-dose radiation bi-planar X-rays (EOS Imaging, Paris, France) were captured at roughly 0°, 20°, 45°, 60°, and 90° of tibiofemoral flexion. Joint translations and rotations were extracted from this experimental data through 2D-to-3D bone reconstructions, using an iterative closest point optimization technique, and employed during model calibration and validation.
