Abstract
A method for vascular assessment is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of medical images of a portion of a vasculature of a subject and processing the medical images to produce a model of the vasculature. The method further includes obtaining a flow characteristic of the model and calculating an index indicative of vascular function, based, at least in part, on the flow characteristic in the model.
