Materialise has advanced expertise in patient-specific 3D and computational modeling, as well as advanced imaging analysis applied to heart valve disease. These skills support research, development and clinical practice in interventions on aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves, as well as the left atrium.
These technologies enable virtual assessment of interactions between medical devices and anatomy, helping researchers and clinicians to study interventional strategies, implant positioning and their potential impact on outcomes. Thanks to experience gained in multi-center clinical studies, Materialise develops standardized, reproducible 3D modeling and predictive simulation workflows, integrated with pre-operative imaging examinations.

Materialise has acquired significant expertise in using artificial intelligence to automate image segmentation, anatomical landmark annotation and preoperative planning. The company draws on a strong team of specialist healthcare researchers, many of whom hold MSc and PhD degrees in computer science and engineering, with expertise in machine learning.
Materialise Mimics software is used for manual segmentation of cardiac scans. These precise annotations form an essential basis for the development of automatic segmentation algorithms.
