METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MODELING BLOOD FLOW WITH BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR OPTIMIZED DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMANCE

摘要

Embodiments include a system for determining cardiovascular information for a patient. The system may include at least one computer system configured to receive patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient's heart, and create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the patient's heart based on the patient-specific data. The at least one computer system may be further configured to create a physics-based model relating to a blood flow characteristic of the patient's heart and determine a fractional flow reserve within the patient's heart based on the three-dimensional model and the physics-based model.

1. A system for determining cardiovascular information for a patient, the system comprising:
at least one computer system configured to execute a method, the method comprising:
retrieving data for each of a plurality of patients, the data including an invasively obtained measurement of blood flow characteristic and a blood flow characteristic computed based at least in part on a respective boundary condition; anddetermining boundary conditions tuning characteristics by iteratively comparing computed blood flow characteristics to invasively obtained measurements of blood flow characteristics of each of the patients.
