Abstract

See full text

In valve modeling from medical scan data, chordae are modeled as a dense structure. Rather than attempting to provide the same number of chordae (e.g., 25) as found in a human valve, hundreds or thousands of chordae connectors are used. Since solving for lengths of so many chordae may be computationally intensive, the lengths of only a few are solved, and the lengths of the rest of the chordae are derived from the lengths of the few.
