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.

173. A method for determining patient-specific cardiovascular information using at least one computer system, the method comprising:
-
inputting into the at least one computer system patient-specific data regarding a geometry of at least a portion of a plurality of cerebral arteries of the patient; creating, using the at least one computer system, a three-dimensional model representing at least the portion of the cerebral arteries of the patient based on the patient-specific data; and determining, using the at least one computer system, information regarding a blood flow characteristic within the cerebral arteries of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and a physics-based model relating to the cerebral arteries of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181)
