Abstract
A computer-implemented method for simulating blood flow through one or more coronary blood vessels may first involve receiving patient-specific data, including imaging data related to one or more coronary blood vessels, and at least one clinically measured flow parameter. Next, the method may involve generating a digital model of the one or more coronary blood vessels, based at least partially on the imaging data, discretizing the model, applying boundary conditions to a portion of the digital model that contains the one or more coronary blood vessels, and initializing and solving mathematical equations of blood flow through the model to generate computerized flow parameters. Finally, the method may involve comparing the computerized flow parameters with the at least one clinically measured flow parameter.
