Method and System for Patient Specific Planning of Cardiac Therapies on Preoperative Clinical Data and Medical Images

An apparatus for patient-specific cardiac therapy planning, comprising:

• means for generating a patient-specific anatomical model of left and right ventricles from medical image data of a patient;
• means for generating a patient-specific computational heart model based on the patient-specific anatomical model of the left and right ventricles and patient-specific clinical data;
• and
• means for simulating CRT at one or more anatomical locations using the patient-specific computational heart model.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program instructions for patient-specific cardiac therapy planning, the computer program instructions when executed by a processor causing the processor to perform operations comprising:

• generating a patient-specific anatomical model of left and right ventricles from medical image data of a patient;
• generating a patient-specific computational heart model based on the patient-specific anatomical model of the left and right ventricles and patient-specific clinical data;
• and
• simulating a cardiac therapy using the patient-specific computational heart model.
