Does a semi-automated 3D deformable modeling method accurately reconstruct mitral valve geometry compared to manual tracing in patients with mitral regurgitation?
A novel semi-automated 3D deformable modeling algorithm accurately reconstructs mitral valve geometry from transesophageal 3D ultrasound, providing consistent morphological measurements compared to manual tracing.
