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.

21. A system for planning treatment for a patient, the system comprising:
at least one computer system configured to; receive patient-specific data regarding a geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient; create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; determine first information regarding a blood flow characteristic 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; modify the three-dimensional model; and determine second information regarding the blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the modified three-dimensional model. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method for planning treatment for a patient, the method comprising:
-
receiving patient-specific data regarding a geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient; creating a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; determining first information regarding a blood flow characteristic 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; and determining second information regarding the blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on a desired change in geometry of the anatomical structure of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A method for planning treatment for a patient using a computer system, the method comprising:
-
inputting into at least one computer system patient-specific data regarding a geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient; creating, using the at least one computer system, a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; determining, using the at least one computer system, first information regarding a blood flow characteristic 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; modifying, using the at least one computer system, the three-dimensional model; and determining, using the at least one computer system, second information regarding the blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the modified three-dimensional model. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
