Systems and methods for embolism prediction using embolus source and destination probabilities
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of determining a patient risk assessment or treatment plan based on emboli destination probabilities, the method comprising:
- receiving a patient-specific anatomic model generated from patient-specific imaging of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s vasculature;
receiving a plurality of embolic source locations of the patient'"'"'s vasculature;
determining a destination location of interest in the patient-specific anatomic model of the patient'"'"'s vasculature, wherein the destination location of interest is an embolus destination or an embolism location in the patient'"'"'s vasculature;
determining, for each embolic source location, a particle size, a number of particles associated with imaging, or a disease severity corresponding to the respective embolic source location;
determining, for each embolic source location, a destination probability of an embolus, based on the determined particle size, the determined number of particles, or the determined disease severity, wherein the destination probability is a probability that the embolus reaches the destination location of interest; and
determining a selected embolic source location of the plurality of embolic source locations, either by comparing a determined destination probability associated with one embolic source location against a determined destination probability associated with a second source location, or by comparing a determined destination probability against a threshold probability.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a patient risk assessment or treatment plan based on emboli dislodgement and destination. One method includes receiving a patient-specific anatomic model generated from patient-specific imaging of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s vasculature; determining or receiving a location of interest in the patient-specific anatomic model of the patient'"'"'s vasculature; using a computing processor for calculating blood flow through the patient-specific anatomic model to determine blood flow characteristics through at least the portion of the patient'"'"'s vasculature of the patient-specific anatomic model downstream from the location of interest; and using a computing processor for particle tracking through the simulated blood flow to determine a destination probability of an embolus originating from the location of interest in the patient-specific anatomic model, based on the determined blood flow characteristics.
