Methods and systems for assessing image quality in modeling of patient anatomic or blood flow characteristics
First Claim
1. A method for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, using a computer system, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy;
performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images;
identifying one or more image characteristics associated with anatomic features of the patient'"'"'s anatomy represented in the received images, based on the anatomic localization or modeling;
calculating an image quality score based on the one or more image characteristics;
performing, using a processor of the computer system, a simulation based on the anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; and
generating one or more confidence metrics associated with a result of the simulation based on the calculated image quality score.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, using a computer system. One method includes receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; determining, using a processor of the computer system, one or more image properties of the received images; performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images; obtaining an identification of one or more image characteristics associated with an anatomic feature of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the anatomic localization or modeling; and calculating, using a processor of the computer system, an image quality score based on the one or more image properties and the one or more image characteristics.

11. A system for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, the system comprising:
-
a digital storage device storing instructions for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including;
receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy;performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images; identifying one or more image characteristics associated with anatomic features of the patient'"'"'s anatomy represented in the received images, based on the anatomic localization or modeling; calculating an image quality score based on the one or more image characteristics; performing, using a processor of the computer system, a simulation based on the anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; and generating one or more confidence metrics associated with a result of the simulation based on the calculated image quality score. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on at least one computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, that when executed by the at least one computer system, cause the performance of a method comprising:
-
receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images; identifying one or more image characteristics associated with anatomic features of the patient'"'"'s anatomy represented in the received images, based on the anatomic localization or modeling; calculating an image quality score based on the one or more image characteristics; performing, using a processor of the computer system, a simulation based on the anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; and generating one or more confidence metrics associated with a result of the simulation based on the calculated image quality score.
