Abstract
A system is provided for generating and displaying a sequence of three-dimensional (3D) graphics that illustrate motion of the heart over a cardiac cycle. The system generates a start heart wall mesh and an end heart wall mesh that represent a start geometry and an end geometry of a heart wall derived from a start 3D image and an end 3D image. The system then generates one or more an intermediate heart wall 3D meshes based on an intermediate geometry of the heart wall. An intermediate geometry is interpolated based on the start geometry and the end geometry factoring a start time of a start heart wall mesh, an end time of the end heart wall mesh, and an intermediate time for the intermediate heart wall mesh. The system then displays in sequence representations the heart wall 3D meshes to illustrate the motion.
