Abstract:
A fluid mechanics-based analysis tool is implemented to compute pressure field data, fluid velocity data, and/or muscular work data in a lumen or other tubular organ or structure from planimetry and pressure data (e.g., measured using a balloon dilation or other planimetry catheter). In this way, flow data can be estimated, which are otherwise insensible from current planimetry catheter technologies due to economic and/or manufacturing limitations.
