Claim 8:
9. A computer system for determining a patient risk assessment or treatment plan based on emboli dislodgement and destination, the system comprising:
at least one data storage device storing instructions for the determining a patient risk assessment or treatment plan based on emboli dislodgement and destination; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
receiving a patient-specific anatomic model generated from patient-specific imaging of at least a portion of a patient's vasculature;
determining or receiving a plurality of source locations of interest in the patient-specific anatomic model of the patient's vasculature, where each source location of interest is associated with an identified plaque, pathological area, or location of vascular shedding in the patient's vasculature;
determining or receiving a destination location of interest in the patient-specific anatomic model of the patient's vasculature;
determining a patient-specific probability of an embolus lodging at the destination location of interest; and
determining, based on the plurality of source locations of interest, a vascular source location of the embolus in the patient's vasculature, based on the determined patient-specific probability.
