Abstract
A method of assessing stenosis severity for a patient includes generating a three dimensional model of a lesion specific vessel tree of the patient. A plurality of inlet and outlet positions are identified in the lesion tree. A total flow rate from the vessel tree model is estimated. A processor and task specific software are utilized to perform computational fluid dynamic simulation on the vessel tree. A flow rate and apparent flow resistance for each of the outlets is then determined. At least one ideal model is generated. A computational fluid dynamic simulation is performed on the at least one ideal model. A level of stenosis severity is determined for each of the outlets.
