To improve outcomes for patients with heart valve disease, we need to understand how their valves behave without performing invasive procedures.

That’s where simulation comes in – but building accurate models is difficult when critical details, like tissue properties or valve support structures, are missing. These gaps make it hard to align simulations with real patient anatomy, limiting their clinical value.

A new open-source method called FINESSE allows simulations to match real valve geometry from 3D echocardiography, even when data is limited. Tested on synthetic models and pediatric cases, FINESSE accurately estimated how valve leaflets stretch and move. This paves the way for linking real-time valve behavior to clinical outcomes.

Our new software framework in FEBio Studio will allow you to import image data, calculate orientation distribution functions, and use them directly in constitutive models for finite element modeling.
