Development of a three-dimensional computer model of the equine heart using a polyurethane casting technique and in vivo contrast-enhanced computed tomography Universiteit Gent
Introduction/objectives: Insight into the three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the equine heart is essential in veterinary education and to develop minimally-invasive intracardiac procedures. The aim was to create a 3D computer model simulating the in vivo anatomy of the adult equine heart. Animals: Ten horses and five ponies. Materials and Methods: Ten horses, euthanized for non-cardiovascular reasons, were used for in situ cardiac casting with ...
