First Claim
1. A system for providing patient-specific cardiovascular information using a web site, the system comprising:
- at least one computer system configured to;
allow a remote user to access a web site;
receive patient-specific data regarding at least a portion of 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 information regarding a blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and a physiological condition of the patient; and
communicate display information regarding a first three-dimensional simulation of at least the portion of the anatomical structure of the patient to the remote user using the web site, the three-dimensional simulation including the determined information regarding the blood flow characteristic.

Abstract
Embodiments include a system for providing patient-specific cardiovascular information using a web site. The system may include at least one computer system configured to allow a remote user to access a web site, receive patient-specific data regarding at least a portion of a geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient, and create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data. The at least one computer system may be further configured to determine information regarding a blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and a physiological condition of the patient, and communicate display information regarding a first three-dimensional simulation of at least the portion of the anatomical structure of the patient to the remote user using the web site. The three-dimensional simulation may include the determined information.
