Abstract
Systems and methods of valve quantification are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of mitral valve quantification is provided. The method includes generating a 3-D heart model, defining a 3-D mitral valve annulus, fitting a plane through the 3-D mitral valve annulus, measuring the distance between at least two papillary muscle heads, defining an average diameter of at least one cross section around the micro valve annulus, and determining a size of an implant to be implanted.

A computer-implemented method of determining a size of a valve implant to be implanted in an organ, the method comprising:
- acquiring scanned images of the organ;
- defining a 3-D valve annulus with respect to the organ based on the scanned images;
- measuring a distance between a first location and a second location with respect to the organ based on the scanned images;
- defining, based on the scanned images, an average diameter of at least one cross section of a lumen of the organ in a plane above or below the 3-D valve annulus;
- and
- determining the size of the valve implant to be implanted based on the measured distance and the average diameter.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method of determining a size of a valve implant to be implanted in an organ, the method comprising:
- acquiring scanned images of the organ;
- defining a 3-D valve annulus with respect to the organ based on the scanned images;
- measuring a distance between a first location and a second location with respect to the organ based on the scanned images;
- defining, based on the scanned images, an average diameter of at least one cross section of a lumen of the organ in a plane above or below the 3-D valve annulus;
- and
- determining the size of the valve implant to be implanted based on the measured distance and the average diameter.
