DETERMINATION OF HEMODYNAMIC INDICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18504581 titled 'DETERMINATION OF HEMODYNAMIC INDICES

The patent application discloses techniques for processing multiple cardiac images obtained during or after an angiography exam of a coronary artery of interest.

• Geometric structure of the coronary artery is determined based on the multiple cardiac images.
• A lumped parameter model of the coronary artery is determined based on the geometric structure.
• Respective values of hemodynamic indexes at specific positions of the coronary artery are determined based on the lumped parameter model.

Potential Applications: - Medical imaging technology - Cardiology diagnostics - Interventional cardiology procedures

Problems Solved: - Improved visualization of coronary artery structures - Enhanced understanding of hemodynamic parameters - Facilitates better treatment planning for cardiac conditions

Benefits: - Accurate assessment of coronary artery health - Personalized treatment strategies - Enhanced patient outcomes

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Cardiac Imaging Technology for Precision Medicine This technology can be utilized in hospitals, cardiac clinics, and research institutions for diagnostic purposes, treatment planning, and research studies in the field of cardiology.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of diagnosing coronary artery conditions? - The technology provides detailed geometric and hemodynamic information, leading to more precise diagnoses and treatment plans. 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in research studies on cardiac diseases? - This technology can enhance research by providing in-depth insights into coronary artery structures and hemodynamics, leading to advancements in the field of cardiology.

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for processing multiple cardiac images are disclosed. The processing may take place either during or after an angiography exam of a coronary artery of interest. The multiple cardiac images are obtained either during or after the angiography exam. Each of the multiple cardiac images depicts a respective segment of the coronary artery of interest. A geometric structure of the coronary artery of interest is determined based on the multiple cardiac images. A lumped parameter model of the coronary artery of interest is determined based on the geometric structure, and respective values of at least one hemodynamic index at a position of the coronary artery of interest is determined based on the lumped parameter model of the coronary artery of interest.
