International Classification:
G06G 7/60
G06F 17/10
G06F 17/11
G06G 7/57
US Classification:
703 2, 703 9
Abstract:
A method and system for non-invasive patient-specific assessment of coronary artery disease is disclosed. An anatomical model of a coronary artery is generated from medical image data. A velocity of blood in the coronary artery is estimated based on a spatio-temporal representation of contrast agent propagation in the medical image data. Blood flow is simulated in the anatomical model of the coronary artery using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using the estimated velocity of the blood in the coronary artery as a boundary condition.

A method and system for patient-specific computational modeling and simulation for coupled hemodynamic analysis of cerebral vessels is disclosed. An anatomical model of a cerebral vessel is extracted from 3D medical image data. The anatomical model of the cerebral vessel includes an inner wall and an outer wall of the cerebral vessel. Blood flow in the cerebral vessel and deformation of the cerebral vessel wall are simulated using coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational solid mechanics (CSM) simulations based on the anatomical model of the cerebral vessel.

US Patent:
20130132054, May 23, 2013
Filed:
Nov 9, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/672781
Inventors:
Puneet Sharma - Rahway NJ, US

Bogdan Georgescu - Plainsboro NJ, US
Viorel Mihalef - Keasbey NJ, US

International Classification:
G06F 19/12
US Classification:
703 9
Abstract:
A method and system for multi-scale anatomical and functional modeling of coronary circulation is disclosed. A patient-specific anatomical model of coronary arteries and the heart is generated from medical image data of a patient. A multi-scale functional model of coronary circulation is generated based on the patient-specific anatomical model. Blood flow is simulated in at least one stenosis region of at least one coronary artery using the multi-scale function model of coronary circulation. Hemodynamic quantities, such as fractional flow reserve (FFR), are computed to determine a functional assessment of the stenosis, and virtual intervention simulations are performed using the multi-scale function model of coronary circulation for decision support and intervention planning.

13/311989
Inventors:
Puneet Sharma - Rahway NJ, US
Viorel Mihalef - Keasbey NJ, US

G06F 17/10
US Classification:
703 2, 703 11, 703 9
Abstract:
A method and system for assessment of virtual stent implantation in an aortic aneurysm is disclosed. A patient-specific 4D anatomical model of the aorta is generated from the 4D medical imaging data. A model representing mechanical properties of the aorta wall is adjusted to reflect changes due to aneurysm growth at a plurality of time stages. A stable deformation configuration of the aorta is generated for each time stages by performing fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulations using the patient-specific 4D anatomical model at each time stage based on the adjusted model representing the mechanical properties of the aorta wall at each time stage. Virtual stent implantation is performed for each stable deformation configuration of the aorta and FSI simulations are performed for each virtual stent implantation.

US Patent:
20130191100, Jul 25, 2013
Filed:
Jan 18, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/744857
Inventors:
Viorel Mihalef - Keasbey NJ, US
Puneet Sharma - Rahway NJ, US
Thomas Redel - Poxdorf, DE
Ali Kamen - Skillman NJ, US
Assignee:
Siemens Aktiengesellschaft - Munich
Siemens Corporation - Iselin NJ
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
703 11
Abstract:
A method for modeling blood flow through a flow diverter includes receiving a medical image containing blood vessels. Vessel geometry is extracted from the received medical image. Inlets and outlets are tagged within the extracted vessel geometry. A desired flow diverter is selected. A model of the selected flow diverter is generated within the imaged blood vessel, the model representing the flow diverter as a tube having a porous surface characterized by a viscous resistance and an inertial resistance. A course of blood flow though the flow diverter is predicted based on the generated model, the extracted vessel geometry, and the tagged inlets and outlets.

International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
703 2
Abstract:
Method and system for computation of advanced heart measurements from medical images and data; and therapy planning using a patient-specific multi-physics fluid-solid heart model is disclosed. A patient-specific anatomical model of the left and right ventricles is generated from medical image patient data. A patient-specific computational heart model is generated based on the patient-specific anatomical model of the left and right ventricles and patient-specific clinical data. The computational model includes biomechanics, electrophysiology and hemodynamics. To generate the patient-specific computational heart model, initial patient-specific parameters of an electrophysiology model, initial patient-specific parameters of a biomechanics model, and initial patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) boundary conditions are marginally estimated. A coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation is performed using the initial patient-specific parameters, and the initial patient-specific parameters are refined based on the coupled FSI simulation. The estimated model parameters then constitute new advanced measurements that can be used for decision making.

International Classification:
G06T 7/00
US Classification:
382131
Abstract:
A method and system for non-invasive hemodynamic assessment of aortic coarctation from medical image data, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is disclosed. Patient-specific lumen anatomy of the aorta and supra-aortic arteries is estimated from medical image data of a patient, such as contrast enhanced MRI. Patient-specific aortic blood flow rates are estimated from the medical image data of the patient, such as velocity encoded phase-contrasted MRI cine images. Patient-specific inlet and outlet boundary conditions for a computational model of aortic blood flow are calculated based on the patient-specific lumen anatomy, the patient-specific aortic blood flow rates, and non-invasive clinical measurements of the patient. Aortic blood flow and pressure are computed over the patient-specific lumen anatomy using the computational model of aortic blood flow and the patient-specific inlet and outlet boundary conditions.
