Abstract
Embodiments include a system for determining cardiovascular information for a patient. The system may include at least one computer system configured to receive patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient'"'"'s heart, and create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s heart based on the patient-specific data. The at least one computer system may be further configured to create a physics-based model relating to a blood flow characteristic of the patient'"'"'s heart and determine a fractional flow reserve within the patient'"'"'s heart based on the three-dimensional model and the physics-based model.

101. A system for determining patient-specific time-varying cardiovascular information, the system comprising:
at least one computer system configured to; receive time-varying patient-specific data regarding a geometry of at least a portion of an anatomical structure of the patient at different times; create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; and determine information regarding a change in a blood flow characteristic over time within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and a physics-based model relating to the anatomical structure of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107)
