Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying and modeling unresolved vessels, and the effects thereof, in image-based patient-specific hemodynamic models. One method includes: receiving a patient-specific anatomical model of at least a portion of a visceral vascular system of the patient; receiving patient-specific information related to the patient's food intake; generating a patient-specific model of blood flow in the patient-specific anatomical model of the portion of the visceral vascular system of the patient; generating a patient-specific model of nutrient transport from at least a part of a gastrointestinal system of the patient to the portion of the visceral vascular system of the patient based on the patient-specific information related to the patient's food intake; and determining an indicia of energy available in the patient based on the patient-specific model of nutrient transport.
