Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and the Royal Veterinary College of London have worked together on a pioneering project worldwide to generate 3D reconstructions of the hearts of different animals and simulations of their blood flow using advanced computational techniques to date only applied to humans. So far, 3D images of cats’ hearts have been generated, but soon the same will be done for dogs, pigs and sheep.
