Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of correcting anatomical modeling, the method comprising: obtaining a plurality of patient-specific images including a vessel and a portion of myocardial tissue; generating or receiving an anatomic model based on the obtained patient-specific images; determining a portion of the anatomic model including an artificial deformation; determining, of the plurality of patient-specific images, a set of images associated with the portion of the anatomic model; determining, for each image of the set of images, a region of the image which includes a representation of the vessel; determining, for each region, a value of an image characteristic; identifying, based on the image characteristic of each image region, a set of image regions which include a representation of myocardial tissue; determining, based on the image region(s) of the set of image regions, an amount that the vessel intersects with the myocardial tissue or determining any tapering of the vessel; and determining an extent of myocardial bridging, based on the amount that the vessel intersects with the myocardial tissue or based on determined tapering of the vessel.
