Abstract:
1. A method for providing patient-specific blood flow information using at least a computer including a screen, the method comprising: receiving patient-specific anatomical data over an electronic network; generating, based on the received patient-specific anatomical data, a geometric model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient; displaying the geometric model on the screen of the computer; receiving a first intervention input indicating a first potential location for treatment of the portion of the anatomical structure; receiving a second intervention input modifying the first potential location for treatment to a second potential location for treatment; modifying the geometric model based at least upon the second intervention input and the second potential location for treatment; calculating a characteristic of blood flow through the portion of the anatomical structure being treated based on the received second intervention input at the second potential location for treatment, using the modified geometric model; and displaying the calculated characteristic of blood flow on the screen of the computer.
