Figure 5

(A) shows a representative MV geometry and a superquadric model that approximates the MV shape; in (B) a cross sectional view of the MV leaflet structure and the computed superquadric model are shown. (C) illustrates that the deviation of MV atrial (white arrows) and ventricular (yellow arrow) sides from the original geometry can be evaluated to model the geometric details of the MV surface.
