METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING TREATMENTS BY MODIFYING PATIENT-SPECIFIC GEOMETRICAL MODELS
First Claim
1. A system for evaluating cardiovascular treatment options for a patient, the system comprising:
- at least one computer system configured to;
create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s heart or vasculature based on patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient'"'"'s heart or vasculature;
for each of a plurality of treatment options for treating at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s heart, modify at least one of the three-dimensional model and a reduced order model based on the three-dimensional model;
determine, for each of the plurality of treatment options, a value of a blood flow characteristic, by solving at least one of the modified three-dimensional model and the modified reduced order model; and
identify one of the plurality of treatment options that solves a function of at least one of;
the determined blood flow characteristics of the patient'"'"'s heart or vasculature, and one or more costs of each of the plurality of treatment options.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for evaluating cardiovascular treatment options for a patient. One method includes creating a three-dimensional model representing a portion of the patient'"'"'s heart based on patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient'"'"'s heart or vasculature; and for a plurality of treatment options for the patient'"'"'s heart or vasculature, modifying at least one of the three-dimensional model and a reduced order model based on the three-dimensional model. The method also includes determining, for each of the plurality of treatment options, a value of a blood flow characteristic, by solving at least one of the modified three-dimensional model and the modified reduced order model; and identifying one of the plurality of treatment options that solves a function of at least one of: the determined blood flow characteristics of the patient'"'"'s heart or vasculature, and one or more costs of each of the plurality of treatment options.
