Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for estimating the flow of blood through a blood vessel in a region of interest. Passage of a bolus of fluid through an imaged blood vessel over a period of time is tracked by a computing device. The computing device fits the tracked passage of the bolus of fluid to a modeled passage of the bolus of fluid. The computing device then estimates a volume of blood flow through the imaged blood vessel based at least in part on a fit of the tracked passage of the bolus of fluid to the modeled passage of the bolus of fluid.
