This web site contains the source of the Matlab software developed for doing the
analysis described in this chapter, and a description of its application to the analysis
of the shape right ventricule of the heart in ToF.

Acknowledgements The computational tools used in this chapter were originally developed
within the context of the European FP6 project Health-e-Child ( http://www.health-e-child.org/ ).
The software was made available to the community in collaboration with the EU network of
Excellence Virtual Physiological Human ( http://www.vph-noe.eu/ ). The extension to the analysis
of the bi-ventricular shape of the heart in rToF was performed in the context of the European ITEA2
Care4Me project ( www.care4me.eu/ ).
