Abstract
An automated measurement device and method for coronary artery disease scoring is disclosed. An example device includes a processor configured to obtain a computerized model of a plurality of vascular segments of a patient and create an unstenosed computerized model from the computerized model by virtually enlarging at least some locations of the vascular segments of the computerized model. The processor also determines vascular state scoring tool (“VSST”) scores based on characteristics of vascular locations along the vascular segments. The processor further determines a severity of stenosis for the vascular locations based on comparisons of first blood flow parameter values at the vascular locations in the computerized model to corresponding second blood flow parameter values at the same vascular locations in the unstenosed computerized model. A user interface of the device displays the severity of stenosis in conjunction with the VSST scores for the vascular locations.
