1. A method of processing a cardiac image dataset acquired from an imaging system, the method comprising:
- identifying a location of a first potential blockage point within a first cardiac vessel;
predicting a functional impact of the first potential blockage point on cardiac tissue; and
providing a representation of the functional impact.

Abstract
A method and system for processing a cardiac image dataset acquired from an imaging system is provided. A location of a first potential blockage point within a first cardiac vessel is located. A functional impact of the first potential blockage point on the cardiac tissue is predicted, and a representation of the functional impact is provided.

10. A method for creating an impact atlas for predicting impact of a blockage within a vessel, comprising:
-
identifying potential blockage points within cardiac vessels of an image dataset; growing impact regions based on the blockage points within the cardiac vessels; and associating each of the blockage points with at least one of the impact regions in an impact atlas file. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for displaying potential impact of an occlusion within a coronary vessel, comprising:
-
a display for displaying an image dataset comprising at least anatomical structures indicative of cardiac vessels and a list of anatomical points identifying locations within the cardiac vessels, each of the anatomical points having at least one associated potential impact region defining an area of decreased blood flow based on an occlusion located proximate to the anatomical point; a user interface for selecting a first anatomical point from the list based on a first potential occlusion point; and a processor coupled to the display and the user interface, the processor configured to identify data associated with the first anatomical point, the display displaying the data representative of the potential impact region associated with the first anatomical point. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
