SurgAid

New methods for diagnosis and support in mitral valve surgery repair procedures based on the integration of finite element modelling and 4D echocardiographic advanced image processing

SurgAid is both an interdisciplinary (involving both electronic and mechanical biomedical engineering competences) and multidisciplinary (in collaboration with heart surgeons, cardiologists and cardiac imaging technicians of the IRCCS Centro Cardiologico Monzino, Milan, Italy) project (National Scientific Coordinator Dr EG Caiani) co-funded by the Italian Ministry of Research under the PRIN2007 - Young Researchers program.

SurgAid involves both electronic and mechanical biomedical engineers of Politecnico di Milano and University of Bologna, in collaboration with heart surgeons of the University of Milan, cardiologists and cardiac imaging technicians of the IRCCS Centro Cardiologico Monzino, Milan, Italy.

SurgAid aims to develop and apply new methods for diagnosis and support in mitral valve surgery repair procedures, based on the combined analysis and integration of the finite element modelling approach with the quantification of 4D echocardiographic images by advanced image processing.
