Structural Heart

Pre-procedural planning

Successful structural heart interventions require innovation to navigate the high risks and complexity. 3D-CT planning and 3D printing reveal unprecedented insights while preparing for structural heart interventions. The adoption of 3D in the modern medical setting is inevitable — bringing clarity to complexity with these technologies.

3D volume rendering of a heart

3D volume rendering

“Although a volume render model allows rapid visualization of the grayscale in 3D, it has limited capabilities for downstream operations such as automated quantification.”¹
