Abstract
Heart valve prosthesis and related reconstruction develop problems during clinical course in patients, due to calcification. To analyse and quantify these effects, heart valves of pigs are filmed during motion using a high-speed camera, whereas the resulting image sequences are analyzed by motion analysis methods based on dynamic active contours. In this contribution we present first experiments and results for both, recording and motion analysis. The far-goal of our work is an analysis and understanding of the heart valve motion in the context of automatic quality assurance for the production of heart valves.
