Patient-specific coronary territory mapping
First Claim
1. A method for patient-specific coronary territory mapping comprising:
- receiving three-dimensional (“
3D”
) image data;
fitting a geometric model to the received data;
segmenting coronary vessels from the received data; and
mapping the segmented vessels to the surface of the model.

Abstract
A system and method for patient-specific coronary territory mapping are provided, the system including an adapter unit for receiving three-dimensional (“3D”) image data, a modeling unit in signal communication with the adapter unit for fitting a geometric model to the received data and segmenting coronary vessels from the received data, and a mapping unit in signal communication with the modeling unit for mapping the segmented vessels to the surface of the model; and the method including receiving 3D image data, fitting a geometric model to the received data, segmenting coronary vessels from the received data, and mapping the segmented vessels to the surface of the model.
