CALCULATING BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR VIRTUAL FFR AND IFR CALCULATION BASED ON MYOCARDIAL BLUSH CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

An apparatus for assessing a patient-s vasculature is provided which is adapted to derive a physiological model of the vasculature including a geometric model and a fluid dynamics model of a vessel of interest and a dynamics measure indicative of a contrast agent dynamics through the vasculature from a plurality of diagnostic images and to analyze the at least one dynamics measure as the function of time such as to adjust at least one boundary condition of the fluid dynamics model.
