Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for modeling changes in patient-specific blood vessel geometry and boundary conditions resulting from changes in blood flow or pressure. One method includes determining, using a processor, a first anatomic model of one or more blood vessels of a patient; determining a biomechanical model of the one or more blood vessels based on at least the first anatomic model; determining one or more parameters associated with a physiological state of the patient; and creating a second anatomic model based on the biomechanical model and the one or more parameters associated with the physiological state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method of anatomical modeling, the method comprising:
receiving image data of one or more blood vessels of a patient's anatomy obtained while the patient's body is at a first physiological state;
determining, using a processor, a patient-specific anatomic model of the one or more blood vessels from the image data obtained while the patient's body is at the first physiological state;
determining, using a processor, a patient-specifi…
