From: Mitral valve analysis adding a virtual semi-transparent annulus plane for detection of prolapsing segments

Fig. 2

Shematic illustration of a phantom mimicking the mitral valve (Surgeon view) after labeling the circumference by mouse clicking (circular blue points) in a cropping plane perpendicular to the virtual plane. A line was drawn by clicking out points from “commissure to commissure“ (PMC to ALC) along the curvature of the phantoms to ensure the saddle shape of the annulus plane. A series of small triangles (Delaunay Triangulation) between the points generated the 3D surface that was made semitransparent (blue) to better appreciate the prolapsing tissue crossing the blue surface. ALC: Anterolateral commissure PMC: Posteromedial commissure
