We present a novel method of evaluating dynamic aortic root geometry in vivo using this visualization system., Description: Based on electrocardiography-gated cardiac computed tomography data in systole and diastole, images of the aortic root in a healthy adult were reconstructed for 3D visualization. Virtual interaction tools were used to explore and measure the aortic root structures., Evaluation: Virtually reconstructed images revealed the aortic root internal structures in exquisite detail. Highly accessible 3D interpretation promptly permitted precise measurements of repair-relevant anatomic parameters, including geometrically complex curves of the aortic root wall and dynamic changes in the aortic valves. Measurement accuracy examined against a known prosthesis showed within 1 mm of error (less than 0.5%)., Conclusions: This technology may promote understanding of aortic root form and function, and facilitate valve-sparing surgery, and seems valuable for 3D exploration and measurement of cardiac anatomy in vivo., Journal Article}, pages = {2077--2083}, title = {A Virtual-Reality Imaging Analysis of the Dynamic Aortic Root Anatomy.}, volume = {112}, year = {2021}, yomi = {ワキサカ, ホダカ and ワキサカ, ホダカ} }
