Abstract:
1. A method for determining cardiovascular information for a patient, comprising: generating a patient-specific anatomical model of a patient's coronary arteries and heart from 4D medical image data of the patient, by generating a 4D geometric model of the patient's coronary arteries from the 4D medical image data by segmenting the coronary arteries and generating a geometric surface model for the segmented coronary arteries in each of a plurality of frames of the 4D medical image data, and generating a 4D anatomical model of the patient's heart from the 4D medical image data, wherein the 4D medical image data comprises three spatial dimensions and a time dimension; generating a multi-scale functional model of coronary circulation based on the patient-specific anatomical model, wherein the multi-scale functional model comprises a 3D computation model and at least one reduced order model; and simulating blood flow in at least one stenosis region of at least one coronary artery using the multi-scale functional model of coronary circulation.
