Abstract: Systems relate to a reusable console system that can be used with a plurality of different types of disposable cassettes. The cassettes may be structured for different therapies, different fluid volumes, among others, or a combination thereof. The disposable cassette may include a plurality of fluid circuits. Each circuit may include a pump chamber disposed along the path. The disposable cassette and the panel of a console may be configured to mate so that each of the one or more actuators of the console align with a pump chamber of the disposable cassette. The console may be configured to control a flow of the fluid in the path in the cassette when the disposable cassette is mated on the panel. Because the console can be mated with different cassettes, the system can efficiently and accurately deliver different medical fluid therapies and/or different patient populations (e.g., pediatric and adult).

Abstract: The systems and methods can accurately and efficiently determine boundary conditions for an arterial segment and thereby efficiently determine hemodynamic information for that segment. The method may include receiving medical image data of a patient. The method may further include generating a geometrical representation of the one or more arterial segments from the medical image data. The method may further include determining boundaries and geometry data for each arterial segment. The method may further include determining boundary conditions for the inflow boundary and each outflow boundary. The boundary conditions for each outflow boundary may be determined using an outflow distribution parameter. The outflow distribution parameter may be determined using the geometry data for one or more of the one or more outflow boundaries, stored hemodynamic data, or a combination thereof. The method may further include determining flow field for each arterial segment and determining hemodynamic information.
