Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing patient-specific blood flow information using at least one computer system, the method comprising: receiving over an electronic network, at the at least one computer system, one or both of a geometric model and a reduced-order model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient based on patient-specific anatomical data; generating a display of the geometric model representing at least the portion of the anatomical structure; receiving, at the at least one computer system, a user intervention input corresponding to a user dragging an intervention indicator across a display, to indicate a potential treatment of the anatomical structure; initiating that a modification of the geometric model or the reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure based on the user intervention input; modifying a display of the intervention indicator on the display of the geometric model representing at least the portion of the anatomical structure, based on the received user intervention input; calculating, by the at least one computer system, at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and the modification of one or both of the geometric model and the reduced-order model; and generating, by the at least one computer system, a display of the calculated at least one blood flow characteristic for display with the display of the geometric model and the intervention indicator.
