Abstract
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.

A computer-implemented system, comprising:
- at least one computer readable storage medium configured to store computer executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving cardiac imaging data;
- obtaining a three dimensional geometric model based on the received cardiac imaging data;
- computing a fractional flow reserve index based on the cardiac imaging data;
- segmenting a coronary tree of the three dimensional geometric model based on the received cardiac imaging data;
- and
- determining a boundary condition of the three dimensional geometric model based on the received cardiac imaging data.
