A method and system for non-invasive assessment of coronary artery stenosis is disclosed. Patient-specific anatomical measurements of the coronary arteries are extracted from medical image data of a patient acquired during rest state. Patient-specific rest state boundary conditions of a model of coronary circulation representing the coronary arteries are calculated based on the patient-specific anatomical measurements and non-invasive clinical measurements of the patient at rest. Patient-specific rest state boundary conditions of the model of coronary circulation representing the coronary arteries are calculated based on the patient-specific anatomical measurements and non-invasive clinical measurements of the patient at rest. Hyperemic blood flow and pressure across at least one stenosis region of the coronary arteries are simulated using the model of coronary circulation and the patient-specific hyperemic boundary conditions. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is calculated for the at least one stenosis region based on the simulated hyperemic blood flow and pressure.

Multifunctional guidewire assemblies and system for analyzing anatomical and functional parameters

Multifunctional guidewire assemblies and system for analyzing anatomical and functional parameters are described. Using a single guidewire assembly, functional and anatomical measurements and identification of lesions may be made. Functional measurements such as pressure may be obtained with a pressure sensor on the guidewire while anatomical measurements such as luminal dimensions may be obtained by utilizing an electrode assembly along the guidewire. The vascular network and stenosed lesions may be modeled into an equivalent electrical network and solved based on the measured parameters to obtain unknown parameters of the electrical network. Several treatment plan options may be constructed where each plan may correspond to the treatment of a subset of particular lesions. The anatomical outcome for each of the treatment plans may be estimated and the equivalent modified electrical parameters may be determined. Then, each of the electrical networks for each plan may be solved to determine the functional outcome for each treatment plan and the outcomes for all treatment plans may be presented to a physician.

Automatic imaging plane selection for echocardiography

Based on anatomy recognition from three-dimensional live imaging of a volume, one or more portions (204, 208) of the volume are selected in real time. In further real time response, live imaging or the portion(s) is performed with a beam density (156) higher than that used in the volume imaging. The one or more portion may be one or more imaging plane selected for optimal orientation in making an anatomical measurement (424) or display. The recognition can be based on an anatomical model, such as a cardiac mesh model. The model may be pre-encoded with information that can be associated with image locations to provide the basis for portion selection, and for placement of indicia (416, 420, 432, 436) displayable for initiating measurement within an image provided by the live portion imaging. A single TEE or TTE imaging probe (112) may be used throughout. On request, periodically or based on detected motion of the probe with respect to the anatomy, the whole process can be re-executed, starting back from volume acquisition (S508).
