HeartVolMesh: Cardiac Volumetric Mesh Reconstruction via Covariance-Guided Graph Deformation

2026-07-05 · Fengming Lin, Arezoo Zakeri, Haoran Dou, Zherui Zhou, Shaokun Lan, Jinming Duan, Alejandro Frangi arxiv

Accurate patient-specific tetrahedral cardiac meshes are essential for in-silico trials, yet common segmentation-then-modelling pipelines can blur thin-wall anatomy and offer limited cross-case correspondence. We propose HeartVolMesh, which lifts each template vertex to an anisotropic Gaussian kernel and uses a 3D CNN-GNN to predict per-vertex displacements and Cholesky-parameterized covariances from volumetric images. Training is guided by a covariance-aware negative log-likelihood loss with lightweight mesh regularization. For volumetric meshing, we warp a fixed tetrahedral template to the reconstructed surface via staged alignment, non-rigid registration, and deformation propagation, preserving connectivity and correspondence by construction, with resolution controlled by template density. Experiments show consistent gains over deformation-based baselines in surface mesh accuracy and volumetric mesh fidelity.
