☆ The authors developed and use a medical image processing software named Medflovan to produce the results displayed in this paper. This is a system entirely created using the C++ object-oriented programming platform to provide cardiac flow visualization and analysis. Cardiac flow computation and visualization is performed on a Pentium 4-class processor on a dedicated graphics card with 512MB of memory.
