Hi,
I am building a 3D heart (left ventricle) model based on MRI images (2D slices). I got contour lines data (x,y,z), in excel sheet, representing the internal (endocardium) and external (epicardium) surfaces of the left ventricle. My goal was to utilize these data to model a 3D solid geometry of the left ventricle using PreView.
After failing to incorporate these data in a file format that is readable by PreView, I manually fitted the data into an input file (.feb) by working out the required syntax to define individual nodes and elements, mimicking the format used by PreView to define solid tube geometry. Although the solid geometry was imported nicely into PreView, the manual processing was not feasible specially when considering more complex geometries.
I was wondering if there is a procedure to easily import or incorporate such contour lines data into PreView?
Regards,
Sirry
