Abstract
A method and a computer system, for providing an assessment for disease status of a disease, such as a cardiovascular disease, employ construction of image-based 3D computational model of an organ representative of the disease status; computationally obtaining a certain mechanical distribution using the 3D-organ model; and computational, quantitative analysis of the mechanical distribution to provide an assessment for disease status of a disease. The image-based 3D computational model includes a fluid-structure interaction and multiple components within the organ.
Claims26
A method for providing an assessment for disease status of a disease, comprising the steps of:
- a) constructing a computational, three-dimensional model of an organ representative of said disease status of a disease based on data for the organ, wherein the organ data includes image data of the organ, and the three-dimensional model includes a fluid-structure interaction and multiple components of the organ;
- b) computationally obtaining a certain mechanical distribution using the three-dimensional organ model;
- and
- c) computationally applying quantitative analysis of the mechanical distribution to provide an assessment for disease status of a disease.
A computer system, comprising:
- a) a data source containing data of an organ representative of disease status of a disease, the organ data including image data of the organ;
- b) a modeler coupled to receive data from the data source, the modeler generating a three-dimensional model of the organ based on the organ data, said model including a fluid-structure interaction and multiple components of the organ;
- and
- c) a routine for computationally obtaining a certain mechanical distribution using the three-dimensional organ model and for applying computational, quantitative analysis of the mechanical distribution, wherein the quantitative analysis of the mechanical distribution provides an assessment for said disease status of a disease.
