Abstract

A method and system for automated decision support for treatment planning of arterial stenoses is disclosed. A set of stenotic lesions is identified in a patient's coronary arteries from medical image data of the patient. A plurality of treatment options are generated for the set of stenotic lesions, wherein each of the plurality of treatment options corresponds to a stenting configuration in which one or more of the stenotic lesions are stented. For each of the plurality of treatment options, predicted hemodynamic metrics for the set of stenotic lesions resulting from the stenting configuration corresponding to that treatment option are calculated.
