The process begins with standard MRI and CT scans, which are then converted into 3D models. Engineers use advanced physics simulations to bring these models to life, creating virtual twins that accurately reproduce each patient’s unique cardiac anatomy and physiology. The technology emerged from an unexpected collaboration between Dassault Systèmes, a French aerospace company known for designing fighter jets and Formula One cars, and medical researchers.
