Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer readable media are disclosed for estimating values of hemodynamic forces acting on plaque or lesions. One method includes: training a system that can predict values of hemodynamic forces acting on one or more points of one or more plaque progressions or erosions on a geometric model of at least a portion of a vascular system; receiving one or more patient-specific parameters of the vascular system of a patient; constructing a geometric model using the received parameters; identifying one or more plaque progressions or erosions; using the trained system to estimate values of hemodynamic forces acting on the identified one or more plaque progressions or erosions of the geometric model of the patient, using the received patient-specific parameters; and outputting the estimated values of hemodynamic forces to an electronic storage medium or display.
