Abstract
This invention describes a method, the starting point of which is a three-dimensional image of the heart. A region of interest is defined on said image. Moreover, the surface which will be represented in the display in the form of a three-dimensional polygon mesh is defined. Each vertex of the mesh is associated with a function which assigns weights to each element in the region of interest. Display parameters are assigned to the vertices using said functions together with the intensity values of the elements in the region of interest. Said parameters are used to generate the interactive display of the surface. One application of the method would be the use thereof to help to characterize the myocardial substrate of ventricular tachycardia in patients with ischemic heart disease and to guide ablation procedures for correcting said tachycardia.
