Endovascular implant decision support in medical imaging

A method for vascular implant decision support using a medical imaging system, the method comprising:

• scanning a patient with the medical imaging system, the scanning providing data representing a vessel of the patient;
• selecting the vascular implant and placement of the vascular implant based on the data representing the vessel of the patient;
• simulating deployment of the selected vascular implant in the vessel based on a fit of a lattice of connected nodes in a regular grid to the vessel as represented in the data, the nodes having assigned masses and constraints, the masses and constraints being from a fit of the lattice to the vascular implant;
• calculating a hemodynamic quantity from a model of the vascular implant as deployed in the vessel of the patient from the simulating;
• and
• displaying the hemodynamic quantity.

A method for vascular implant decision support using a medical imaging system, the method comprising:

• scanning a patient with the medical imaging system, the scanning providing data representing a vessel of the patient;
• modeling deployment of an endovascular device within the vessel based on physics, the modeling based on a fit of a lattice of connected nodes in a regular grid to the vessel as represented in the data, the nodes having assigned masses and constraints, the masses and constraints being from a fit of the lattice to the vascular implant;
• determining a value of a hemodynamic parameter resulting from the deployment as modeled;
• and
• displaying the value.
