Abstract

A method is for classifying a risk for thrombus formation in an organ, in particular during an atrial fibrillation. In an embodiment, the method includes providing a medical image data set via a medical imaging device; calculating a flow parameter based on the medical image data set; assigning a risk parameter based on the flow parameter calculated; and—providing the risk parameter.
