This paper presents a simulation method to study and improve the technology of designing magnets. With the finite element method, it analyzes the magnetic field distribution of the magnet model constructed by CAD software. Based on the distribution characteristics of magnetic field, the redundancy parts of the magnet configuration are removed accurately. The experiment results show that this method can significantly lighten the magnet.

The technique introduced in this paper is applied in the endocardial catheter operation, which describes the 3D heart model reconstruction before the operation for the endocardial navigation. After a series of CT images of the thorax are processed, an accurate 3D endocardial model can be reconstructed. At first, the series of 2D CT images are preprocessed for denoising and the enhancement,then they are constructed as the volume data. After the region growing segmentation in the 3D volume data according to the grey value of the voxel in the heart cavity, the heart surface rendering is got and the 3D model of endocardial cavity is reconstructed.
