Problems solved by technology

However, in vivo experiments to assess the efficacy of hydrogels are costly
At present, there are relatively few studies that use geometric modeling and biocomputation methods combined with experimental data to gain an in-depth understanding of the effects of hydrogels with different stiffnesses and different volumes on the stress and thickness of the ventricular wall.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer image processing, in particular to a method and a device for constructing a left ventricle geometric model for evaluating curative effect of an injectable hydrogel. Background technique [0002] Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide and may eventually lead to heart failure due to poor remodeling of the ventricular wall. Therefore, the material properties of the myocardium play an important role in the study of LV function in health and disease. Injectable hydrogel is a biocompatible injectable material that has shown remarkable efficacy in attenuating ventricular remodeling. A variety of hydrogels of different materials are currently being used to assess the effect on ventricular wall thickness and left ventricular function. Many in vivo experimental studies have proved that injectable hydrogel can play a certain effective role in the treatment of myocardial infarction. [0003] T...
