Abstract:
Photogrammetry generates a 3-dimensional high-resolution model from multiple 2-dimensional photographs. Herein, we demonstrate a photogrammetry of a perfusion-fixed cardiac sample around the left ventricular summit. The single photogrammetric model can be observed from almost all directions and illustrates important anatomical features for the general cardiologist. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
