METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTI SCALE ANATOMICAL AND FUNCTIONAL MODELING OF CORONARY CIRCULATION

摘要

A method and system for multi scale anatomical and functional modeling of coronary circulation is disclosed. A patient specific anatomical model of coronary arteries and the heart is generated from medical image data of a patient. A multi scale functional model of coronary circulation is generated based on the patient specific anatomical model. Blood flow is simulated in at least one stenosis region of at least one coronary artery using the multi scale function model of coronary circulation. Hemodynamic quantities such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) are computed to determine a functional assessment of the stenosis and virtual intervention simulations are performed using the multi scale function model of coronary circulation for decision support and intervention planning.
