CARDITIS

CARDITIS addresses cardiologists and cardio surgeons needs for innovative solutions supporting the diagnosis and treatment of Cardiovascular diseases. The efficient method of multi-modal imaging, reconstruction and knowledge representation used by the project introduces new methods for simulations, decision making and risk analysis.

Today, cardiac care of patients is a major medical problem and a lot of research and effort has gone into to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

CARDITIS plans to develop a user-friendly, fast and reliable tool that will provide access to heterogeneous health information sources (MRI, IVUS, CT, Biplane angiography) and will introduce new methods for decision support and risk analysis.

CARDITIS' primary objective is to improve understanding of the human cardiovascular system.

The objectives of the CARDITIS system are:

  • The introduction of a surgery planning system based on the construction of a 3D patient-specific geometric model of the cardiovascular system;
  • The development of innovative and efficient methods for multimodal imaging, reconstruction and knowledge representation;
  • To provide cardio surgeons and cardiologists with a tool for handling realistic simulations of medical procedures, an interactive virtual environment to design surgical plans and alter the geometry of the 3D individualized model.
