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 at least a portion of an anatomical structure of the patient, the anatomical structure including at least a portion of a plurality of arteries and myocardial tissue connected to at least some of the plurality of arteries;
create a three-dimensional model representing the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data;
divide at least a portion of the three-dimensional model representing the myocardial tissue into segments; and
determine perfusion information associated with at least one of the segments based on the three-dimensional model and a physiological condition of the patient.

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.

15. A method for determining cardiovascular information for a patient using at least one computer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, using at least one computer system, patient-specific data regarding a geometry of at least a portion of an anatomical structure of the patient, the anatomical structure including at least a portion of a plurality of arteries and myocardial tissue connected to at least some of the plurality of arteries; creating, using the at least one computer system, a three-dimensional model representing the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; extending, using the at least one computer system, the three-dimensional model to form an augmented model; dividing, using the at least one computer system, at least a portion of the augmented model representing the myocardial tissue into segments; and determining, using the at least one computer system, perfusion information associated with at least one of the segments based on the augmented model and a physiological condition of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method for determining cardiovascular information for a patient, the method comprising:
-
receiving patient-specific data regarding a geometry of at least a portion of an anatomical structure of the patient, the anatomical structure including at least a portion of a plurality of arteries and myocardial tissue connected to at least some of the plurality of arteries; creating a three-dimensional model representing the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; dividing at least a portion of the three-dimensional model representing the myocardial tissue into segments; and determining perfusion information associated with at least one of the segments based on the three-dimensional model and a physics-based model relating to the anatomical structure. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
