通过使用网络技术，科学家和临床医生之间在心脏研究方面的数据共享得到了极大的便利。这项技术的潜力意味着，通过数据库定期促进信息共享，鼓励利益相关者参与这些服务的社区。在本文中，我们讨论解剖模型数据库（AMDB） （Gianni等）。心脏的功能成像和建模。施普林格，海德堡，2009；Gianni等人。Phil Trans Ser（数学物理工程科学368:3039-3056,2010），它既促进了以数据库为中心的协作方法，又扩展了该框架，提供了创建新网格数据的新功能。AMDB目前存储Gianni等人描述的心脏几何模型（心脏的功能成像和建模）。施普林格，Heidelberg, 2009)，一些描述几何和功能属性的额外心脏模型，以及最近使用web服务生成的模型。功能模型以几何形式表示模拟数据，如电生理学或力学，其中许多都作为基准研究的一部分存在于AMDB中。最后，使用Lamata等人（Med image Anal 15:801-813, 2011）中描述的方法，增加了heartgen服务，用于从二值图像数据中生成左心室或双心室模型。结果可以与其他社区提供的解剖模型一起托管在AMDB上。因此，AMDB是一个独特的数据库，它存储几何数据（而不是抽象模型或图像数据），并结合了用于生成新几何模型的强大web服务。
Sharing data between scientists and with clinicians in cardiac research has been facilitated significantly by the use of web technologies. The potential of this technology has meant that information sharing has been routinely promoted through databases that have encouraged stakeholder participation in communities around these services. In this paper we discuss the Anatomical Model Database (AMDB) (Gianni et al. Functional imaging and modeling of the heart. Springer, Heidelberg, 2009; Gianni et al. Phil Trans Ser A Math Phys Eng Sci 368:3039-3056, 2010) which both facilitate a database-centric approach to collaboration, and also extends this framework with new capabilities for creating new mesh data. AMDB currently stores cardiac geometric models described in Gianni et al. (Functional imaging and modelling of the heart. Springer, Heidelberg, 2009), a number of additional cardiac models describing geometry and functional properties, and most recently models generated using a web service. The functional models represent data from simulations in geometric form, such as electrophysiology or mechanics, many of which are present in AMDB as part of a benchmark study. Finally, the heartgen service has been added for producing left or bi-ventricle models derived from binary image data using the methods described in Lamata et al. (Med Image Anal 15:801-813, 2011). The results can optionally be hosted on AMDB alongside other community-provided anatomical models. AMDB is, therefore, a unique database storing geometric data (rather than abstract models or image data) combined with a powerful web service for generating new geometric models.
