Method and system for providing information from a patient-specific model of blood flow
First Claim
1. A system for providing patient-specific blood flow information for a patient, the system comprising:
- a display device including a touchscreen and being configured to display a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of the patient based on patient-specific data; and
a processor configured to;
operate in a first mode to receive a first input relating to a first location on the touchscreen indicated by a user, the first location on the touchscreen indicating a first location on the displayed three-dimensional model, and generate a display of first information on the touchscreen, the first information indicating a blood flow characteristic at the first location; and
operate in a second mode to (i) receive a second input relating to a second location on the touchscreen, the second input causing a modification of the three-dimensional model, (ii) generate a display of a coronary intervention at a location of the three-dimensional model corresponding to the second location on the touchscreen, (iii) determine and display second information regarding the blood flow characteristic in the anatomical structure based on the modification of the three-dimensional model, and (iv) enable the user to interact with the touchscreen to drag the displayed coronary intervention along a vessel to update the determined and displayed second information regarding the blood flow characteristic based on further modification of the three-dimensional model.

Abstract
Embodiments include a system for providing blood flow information for a patient. The system may include at least one computer system including a touchscreen. The at least one computer system may be configured to display, on the touchscreen, a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of the patient based on patient-specific data. The at least one computer system may also be configured to receive a first input relating to a first location on the touchscreen indicated by at least one pointing object controlled by a user, and the first location on the touchscreen may indicate a first location on the displayed three-dimensional model. The at least one computer system may be further configured to display first information on the touchscreen, and the first information may indicate a blood flow characteristic at the first location.
