Abstract
The present invention relates to a device () for fractional flow reserve determination. The device () comprises a model generator () configured to generate a three-dimensional model (3DM) of a portion of an imaged vascular vessel tree (VVT) surrounding a stenosed vessel segment (SVS), based on a partial segmentation of the imaged vascular vessel tree (VVT). Further, the device comprises an image processor () configured to calculate a blood flow (Q) through the stenosed vessel segment (SVS) based on an analysis of a time-series of X-ray images of the vascular vessel tree (VVT). Still further, the device comprises a fractional-flow-reserve determiner () configured to determine a fractional flow reserve (FFR) based on the three-dimensional model (3DM) and the calculated blood flow.
