Abstract
Described here are systems and methods for generating quantitative flow mapping from medical flow data (e.g., medical images, patient-specific computational flow models, particle image velocimetry data, in vitro flow phantom) over a virtual volume representative of a catheter or other medical device. As such, quantitative flow mapping is provided with reduced computational burdens. Quantitative flow maps can also be generated and displayed in a manner that is similar to catheter-based or other medical device-based mapping, without requiring an interventional procedure to place the catheter or medical device.
