Abstract

A method includes obtaining a boundary condition estimate. The boundary condition estimate includes at least an estimated outlet resistance of a vessel with a stenosis. The method further includes correcting the boundary condition estimate based on a severity of the stenosis, thereby creating a corrected boundary condition. The method further includes determining an FFR index based on the corrected boundary condition. The method further includes displaying the FFR index. A computing system includes a computer readable storage medium with instructions that iteratively determine at least an FFR index based on a severity of a stenosis of a vessel. The computing system further includes a computer processor that processes the instructions and generates the FFR index based on the severity of the stenosis of the vessel.
