The paper deals with processing of imaging data obtained in the course of different medical examination procedures, for use in applications focused on improving both the diagnostic process of a patient as well as extending the training possibilities for medical personnel. Computed tomography (CT) data serves as the main source of structural and volumetric information. Fusion with left ventricular systolic function map, provides a vital information on the state of heart muscle. In parallel, the same set of computed tomography data is reused for simulation of trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE). The presented simulation setup is used in the course of medical personnel training.
