Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating patient-specific blood flow characteristics. One method includes acquiring, for each of a plurality of individuals, a geometric model and estimated blood flow characteristics of at least part of the individual's vascular system; executing a machine learning algorithm on the geometric model and estimated blood flow characteristics for each of the plurality of individuals; identifying, using the machine learning algorithm, features predictive of blood flow characteristics corresponding to a plurality of points in the geometric models; acquiring, for a patient, a geometric model of at least part of the patient's vascular system; and using the identified features to produce estimates of the patient's blood flow characteristic for each of a plurality of points in the patient's geometric model.
