Claim Text:
1. A method for providing patient-specific blood flow information using at least a computer system, the method comprising: receiving over an electronic network, at the computer system, patient-specific anatomical data; generating, based on the received patient-specific anatomical data, a geometric model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient, and a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure; transmitting over the electronic network one or both of the geometric model and the reduced-order model to a portable computer including a touchscreen; receiving over the electronic network, at the computer system, a user intervention input entered by a user on the touchscreen indicating a potential treatment of the anatomical structure that initiates a modification of the reduced-order model; calculating, at the computer system, at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and the modification of the reduced-order model; and transmitting over the electronic network the calculated at least one blood flow characteristic to the portable computer.
