Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing cardiovascular disease and treatment effectiveness based on adipose tissue. One method includes identifying a vascular bed of interest in a patient's vasculature; receiving a medical image of the patient's identified vascular bed of interest; identifying adipose tissue in the received medical image; receiving a geometric vascular model comprising a representation of the patient's identified vascular bed of interest; and computing an inflammation index associated with the geometric vascular model, using the identified adipose tissue.
