1. A method for non-invasive assessment of coronary artery disease based on medical image data comprising:

  • generating an anatomical model of a coronary artery from medical image data;

    estimating a velocity of blood in the coronary artery based on a spatio-temporal representation of contrast agent propagation in the medical image data; and

    simulating blood flow in the anatomical model of the coronary artery using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using the estimated velocity of the blood in the coronary artery as a boundary condition.
