Method and system for providing information from a patient-specific model of blood flow
First Claim
1. A method for providing patient-specific blood flow information using at least a computer system and a portable computer including a touchscreen, the method comprising:
- receiving over an electronic network, at the computer system, patient-specific data including images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy;
generating, based on the received patient-specific data, a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient, and a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure;
displaying the three-dimensional model on the touchscreen of the portable computer;
receiving at the portable computer a user intervention input indicating a potential treatment of the anatomical structure and initiating a modification of the reduced-order model;
calculating at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and the modification of the reduced-order model; and
displaying the calculated at least one blood flow characteristic on the touchscreen of the portable computer.

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.

23. A system for providing patient-specific blood flow information for a patient, the system comprising at least:
-
a computer system including a processor configured to; (i) receive over an electronic network patient-specific data including images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy; (ii) generate, based on the received patient-specific data, a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient, and a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure; (iii) receive at a portable computer a user intervention input indicating a potential treatment of the anatomical structure and initiating a modification of the reduced-order model; and (iv) calculate at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and modification of the reduced-order model; and the portable computer including a touchscreen and being configured to; (i) display a three-dimensional model on the touchscreen of the portable computer; and (ii) display a calculated blood flow characteristic on the touchscreen of the portable computer.

24. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on at least a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for providing patient-specific blood flow information and a portable computer including a touchscreen, the instructions being executable by the computer system for:
-
receiving over an electronic network, at the computer system, patient-specific data including images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy; generating, based on the received patient-specific data, a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient, and a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure; displaying the three-dimensional model on the touchscreen of the portable computer; receiving at the portable computer a user intervention input indicating a potential treatment of the anatomical structure and initiating a modification of the reduced-order model; calculating at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and modification of the reduced-order model; and displaying the calculated at least one blood flow characteristic on the touchscreen of the portable computer.
