Using computed tomography images for a heart modeling

In this paper the quality and analysis of the computed tomography scan sets are presented in the context of creating a 3DD model of a heart for the ultrasonography simulator. Data was collected during regular patients examination, using various equipment and technique, therefore not every set has required quality. CT data can be fast characterized with histogram that can show if the brightness ranges of objects (heart structures) are selective. This makes CT data usable for simulation by applying a transform function on the CT images to produce ultrasonographylike images. The aim is to use a PACS system of Hospital, which is the source of data. Therefore a proper technique and system for analysis is needed
