  • Publication number: 20250082218
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining individual-specific blood flow characteristics. One method includes acquiring, for each of a plurality of individuals, individual-specific anatomic data and blood flow characteristics of at least part of the individual's vascular system; executing a machine learning algorithm on the individual-specific anatomic data and blood flow characteristics for each of the plurality of individuals; relating, based on the executed machine learning algorithm, each individual's individual-specific anatomic data to functional estimates of blood flow characteristics; acquiring, for an individual and individual-specific anatomic data of at least part of the individual's vascular system; and for at least one point in the individual's individual-specific anatomic data, determining a blood flow characteristic of the individual, using relations from the step of relating individual-specific anatomic data to functional estimates of blood flow characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20240038398
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing cardiovascular disease and treatment effectiveness based on adipose tissue. One method includes identifying a vascular bed of interest in a patient's vasculature; receiving a medical image of the patient's identified vascular bed of interest; identifying adipose tissue in the received medical image; receiving a geometric vascular model comprising a representation of the patient's identified vascular bed of interest; and computing an inflammation index associated with the geometric vascular model, using the identified adipose tissue.
