Abstract:
In the context of cardiac fiber identification, we propose a new PDE model for the construction of rule based model fibers. We perform its analysis, both from the theoretical point of view and for an efficient and robust numerical approximation for the direct and inverse problems involved. We compare our approach with other alternative modeling methods based on the manipulation of ad-hoc potentials, and show that our approach generalizes the state-of-the-art algorithms for ventricular fiber reconstruction.
