SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS, RISK ASSESSMENT, AND/OR VIRTUAL TREATMENT ASSESSMENT OF VISCERAL ISCHEMIA

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for diagnosis, risk assessment, and/or virtual treatment assessment of visceral ischemia and related disorders. One method includes receiving a patient-specific anatomic model of a patient's visceral vasculature, including visceral vasculature of the patient's visceral organs and bowel; determining a location in the patient-specific anatomic model of the patient's visceral vasculature; determining, for the location in the patient-specific anatomic model, a blood flow characteristic of blood flow through the location in the patient-specific anatomic model of the patient's visceral vasculature; determining a tissue region of the patient's bowel proximate the location in the patient-specific anatomic model of the patient's visceral vasculature; and generating an assessment of blood supply adequacy to the tissue region of the patient's bowel or generating a risk score for risk of disease for the patient's bowel, based on the determined blood flow characteristic and an expected blood flow characteristic associated with the tissue region of the patient's bowel.
