Conclusions and Recommedation
We have developed a heart simulator
“UT-Heart” which will contribute for a
tailor-made medical treatment.
Various kinds of computer simulations
will be adopted for medical treatment
in the near future.
We recommend to develop a
standardized format for simulation
results (3D/4D image data) same as
DICOM format for Modality data.
