Colorful 3D Image Of The Human Heart Valves

This is pretty neat. (Especially, for those of us wanting to learn more about [1] human heart valve anatomy.)
I just came across a three dimensional, reconstructive image of the heart valves functioning. Unfortunately, the animation does not show all of the [2] tricuspid and aortic valves are partly visible.
The two, left images are from the same dataset, showing tricuspid and mitral valves (above) and aortic and mitral valves (below).
When I learned that I needed [3] aortic and pulmonary valve surgery, I wanted to learn as much as possible about the human heart. My hope is that these types of pictures will help current and future patients better understand the anatomy of their own hearts before valve repair or valve replacement operations.
Keep on tickin!
