Aortic Valve Leaflets Motion Trajectories Tracking by Using Echocardiography Data

This paper proposes a novel approach for evaluating the trajectories of aortic valve leaflets throughout the cardiac cycle based on echocardiography data, aimed at subsequently determining their mechanical properties. The non-invasive nature of this method represents a significant advantage over existing experimental techniques used for assessing the mechanical properties of soft tissues. As a result, a software module has been developed to track the movement of control points marked on the aortic valve leaflet. The program has been debugged using model data and subsequently applied to the analysis of echocardiography data.
