Method and System for Patient-Specific Modeling of Blood Flow
First Claim
1. A system for determining cardiovascular information for a patient, the system comprising:
- at least one computer system configured to;
receive patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient'"'"'s heart;
create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s heart based on the patient-specific data;
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.

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.
