Method and system for patient-specific modeling of blood flow
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for planning treatment for a patient, the system comprising:
- at least one computer system configured to;
receive patient-specific data regarding 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 first information regarding a blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and patient-specific information regarding a physiological condition of the patient;
generate a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure by using the first information to define one or more parameters of the reduced-order model;
modify one or more of the parameters of the reduced-order model based on a modeled administration of medication to the patient; and
determine second information regarding the blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the modified one or more parameters of the reduced-order model.

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.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method for planning treatment for a patient, the method comprising:
-
receiving patient-specific data regarding a geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient; creating a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; determining first information regarding a blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and patient-specific information regarding a physiological condition of the patient; generating a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure by using the first information to define one or more parameters of the reduced-order model; and determining second information regarding the blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on a desired modeled change in one or more parameters of the reduced-order model based on a modeled administration of medication to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for planning treatment for a patient using at least one computer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at least one computer system patient-specific data regarding a geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient; creating, using the at least one computer system, a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient-specific data; determining, using the at least one computer system, first information regarding a blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the three-dimensional model and patient-specific information regarding a physiological condition of the patient; generating, using the at least one computer system, a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure by using the first information to define one or more parameters of the reduced-order model; modifying, using the at least one computer system, one or more of the parameters of the reduced-order model based on a modeled administration of medication to the patient; and determining, using the at least one computer system, second information regarding the blood flow characteristic within the anatomical structure of the patient based on the modified one or more parameters of the reduced-order model. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
