Claim One:
1. A method for valve treatment simulation from medical diagnostic imaging data, the method comprising: estimating, with a processor and a machine-learnt probabilistic model for anatomy detection, an anatomy model of a valve of a patient by inputting input features from the medical diagnostic imaging data of the patient into the machine-learnt probabilistic model; computing, with the processor, a volumetric model of the valve as open, the volumetric model being a function of the anatomy model and including chordae, the computing including extruding a leaflet atrial surface towards a ventricle and adding directional fibers in leaflets to the anatomical model; determining a length of the chordae for the patient; receiving locations for placement of a valve clip relative to the valve; simulating, with the processor, an effect of the valve clip on the volumetric model according to a biomechanical model; predicting, with the processor, the effect on the functioning of the valve, over a sequence of a heart cycle, after and caused by the placement of the valve clip at the locations on the valve, the predicting using the volumetric model and the length of the chordae with mitral annulus and papillary tip motions being constrained from the medical diagnostic imaging data and with limiting collisions of the leaflets; and displaying the effect of the placement of the valve clip at the locations on the valve.
