HEARTBEAT4D: An Open-source Toolbox for Turning 4D Cardiac CT into VR/AR.

ABSTRACT: Four-dimensional data sets are increasingly common in MRI and CT. While clinical visualization often focuses on individual temporal phases capturing the tissue(s) of interest, it may be possible to gain additional insight through exploring animated 3D reconstructions of physiological motion made possible by augmented or virtual reality representations of 4D patient imaging. Cardiac CT acquisitions can provide sufficient spatial resolution and temporal data to support advanced visualization, however, there are no open-source tools readily available to facilitate the transformation from raw medical images to dynamic and interactive augmented or virtual reality representations. To address this gap, we developed a workflow using free and open-source tools to process 4D cardiac CT imaging start
