  • Patent number: 9189600
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for evaluating cardiovascular treatment options for a patient. One method includes creating a three-dimensional model representing a portion of the patient's heart based on patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient's heart or vasculature; and for a plurality of treatment options for the patient's heart or vasculature, modifying at least one of the three-dimensional model and a reduced order model based on the three-dimensional model. The method also includes determining, for each of the plurality of treatment options, a value of a blood flow characteristic, by solving at least one of the modified three-dimensional model and the modified reduced order model; and identifying one of the plurality of treatment options that solves a function of at least one of: the determined blood flow characteristics of the patient's heart or vasculature, and one or more costs of each of the plurality of treatment options.

  • Publication number: 20150269350
    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.

  • Patent number: 6131320
    Abstract: Each display panel of a free-standing, foldable floor sign includes an integrally formed handle portion and male and female hinge projections. The male and female hinge projections snap together into interlocking engagement with each other in response to simultaneous axial compression. The male coupling member includes a resilient finger portion and a latching head, and the female coupling member includes a cylindrical collar having a latch pocket and a radially stepped, inwardly projecting retainer. The resilient finger portion is radially deflectable in response to sliding engagement of the latching head against the retainer to permit the latching head to clear the retainer and enter the latch pocket. The display panels are stabilized in a spread-apart service position by a locking arm that is pivotally coupled to the display panels for folding movement within longitudinal slots formed along side edges of the display panels.
