Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method of determining a patient risk assessment or treatment plan based on emboli dislodgement and destination, the method comprising:
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.
