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.

31. A computer-implemented method for providing patient-specific blood flow information using at least one computer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving over an electronic network, at the at least one computer system, a geometric model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient based on patient-specific anatomical data; generating a display of the geometric model on the at least one computer system; receiving a user intervention input entered by a user, the input indicating a potential treatment of the anatomical structure that initiates a modification of the geometric model or a reduced-order model of the portion of the anatomical structure; calculating, by the at least one computer system, at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and the modification of one or both of the geometric model and the reduced-order model; and generating a display of the calculated at least one blood flow characteristic on the at least one computer system. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A computer system for providing patient-specific blood flow information for a patient, the computer system configured to:
-
receive, over an electronic network, a geometric model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient based on patient-specific anatomical data; generate a display of the geometric model; receive a user intervention input entered by a user, the input indicating a potential treatment of the anatomical structure that initiates a modification of the geometric model or a reduced-order model of a portion of the anatomical structure; calculate at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and the modification of one or both of the geometric model and the reduced-order model; and generate a display of the calculated at least one blood flow characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)

50. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on at least a computer containing computer-executable programming instructions for providing patient-specific blood flow information, the instructions being executable by the computer for:
-
receiving, over an electronic network, a geometric model representing at least a portion of an anatomical structure of a patient based on patient-specific anatomical data; generating a display of the geometric model; receiving a user intervention input entered by a user, the input indicating a potential treatment of the anatomical structure that initiates a modification of the geometric model or a reduced-order model of a portion of the anatomical structure; calculating at least one blood flow characteristic based on the received user intervention input and the modification of one or both of the geometric model and the reduced-order model; and generating a display of the calculated at least one blood flow characteristic.
