  • Publication number: 20220125324
    Abstract: A non-invasive method of assessing a coronary stenosis or other blockage in an artery or other vasculature is based on determination of a blood flow characteristic. In some embodiments, the blood flow characteristic is a fractional flow reserve determined using a statistical correlation of experimentally determined physiological factors and anatomical factors. In other embodiments, the blood flow characteristic is a blood flow rate determined using machine learning techniques. In further embodiments, the blood flow rate determined using machine learning techniques is a physiological factor used in determining the fractional flow reserve.

  • Publication number: 20210272699
    Abstract: A non-invasive computer-based method and system for assessing a coronary stenosis or other blockage in an artery or other vasculature includes creating a computational model of the vasculature of interest, modeling blood flow through the vasculature, and determining the mean residence time through a given coronary artery segment, which is a direct assessment of physiological changes on the flow of blood as a result of the stenosis. In some embodiments, blood is modeled as a multi-phase fluid.
