Patent ID: 8734357

Claim:
A system for planning treatment for a patient, the system comprising: at least one computer system configured to: receive patient-specific data regarding a geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient; create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; determine first information regarding a blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and patient-specific information regarding a physiological condition of the patient; generate a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure by using the first information to define one or more parameters of the reduced-order model; modify one or more of the parameters of the reduced-order model based on a modeled administration of medication to the patient; and determine second information regarding the blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the modified one or more parameters of the reduced-order model.
