Patent Issued for Method and system for image processing to determine blood flow (USPTO 12016635).

A patent has been issued for a method and system for image processing to determine blood flow. The patent describes a system that uses patient-specific data to create a three-dimensional model of the heart and simulate blood flow within the heart. This method aims to provide more accurate data on coronary lesions and assess the functional significance of these lesions. It may benefit cardiologists in diagnosing and planning treatments for patients with suspected coronary artery disease. The patent also discusses the use of graphical representations to visually represent blood flow within the vasculature. [Extracted from the article]
