  • the trained mapping function may be trained in an offline step based on training data, such as, e.g., historical patient data, synthetic patient data, patient data obtained from bench-top experiments, etc.
  • steps 304 and 306 may be repeated for each quantity of interest.
  • FIG. 4 shows an exemplary method 400 for determining the Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) for a stenosis of a patient, in accordance with one or more embodiments.
  • FFR is a functional measure for quantifying the hemodynamic significance of a stenosis in an artery.
  • FFR is typically determined based on the pressure drop over a coronary stenosis at hyperemia using invasive pressure wire based measurements.
  • Hyperemia refers to a physiological state of the patient with more than normal blood flow.
  • FFR can instead be determined by mapping a pressure drop over an artery (e.g., coronary artery) of a patient at a rest state to a pressure drop at hyperemia.
  • the pressure drop is an important physiological quantity that is of clinical interest, and is used to characterize the functional severity of a stenosis (narrowing of the vessel wall).
  • the conventional approach to determine the pressure drop during hyperemia would be to either directly measure the pressure drop during hyperemia or use a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) algorithm that simulates a hyperemia (by employing appropriate boundary conditions in the CFD algorithm and using the results of the CFD computation to determine the pressure drop at hyperemia).
  • CFD computational fluid dynamics
  • both of these conventional approaches have drawbacks.
  • the measurement process is invasive, costly, and inherently risky for the patient since it is an additional clinical procedure.
  • the CFD based computation is non-invasive, but may be time intensive and inaccurate due to the difficulty in obtaining the correct boundary conditions that represent the hyperemia state for a particular patient.
  • patient data is received for a patient at a rest state.
  • the patient data may include, e.g., pressure measurements of a patient at rest (e.g., using a pressure wire).
  • the patient data may also include, e.g., medical image data of the patient at rest, which may be used to perform a blood flow simulation over the, e.g., coronary artery stenosis using rest state boundary conditions (e.g., determined from medical image data and/or other non-invasive measurements).
  • rest state boundary conditions e.g., determined from medical image data and/or other non-invasive measurements.
  • a value of a pressure drop across a stenosis for the patient at the rest state is determined.
  • the pressure drop may be any value indicating the drop in pressure across a, e.g., stenosis.
  • Distal and Proximal pressure may be extracted from medical image data or determined directly from patient data as measurements or simulation results.
  • the pressure may be measured invasively by, e.g., inserting a pressure wire into the artery.
  • the pressure may also be measured by computing a CFD algorithm. Rest state measurements can be measured more easily, safely, cheaply, and quickly than hyperemic measurements since they do not require the patient to be in a hyperemic state.
  • features are extracted from the patient data.
  • the extracted features are based on the QoI (i.e., pressure drop across a stenosis) to be determined for the patient at the hyperemia state.
  • the features may include anatomical features, such as features representing the geometry of the vessel, (e.g., length of the stenosis, radius of the vessel at/before/after the stenosis).
  • the anatomical features may be extracted by processing medical image data to determine the geometry of the vessel.
  • the features may also include function features such as vital statistics (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) of the patient at the rest state.
  • the functional features may be determined as measurements or simulation results directly from the patient data.
  • the pressure drop across the stenosis for the patient at the rest state is mapped to a pressure drop across the stenosis for the patient at the hyperemia state based on the features extracted at step 406 .
  • the mapping determines the pressure drop across the stenosis for the patient at the hyperemia state based on the pressure drop across the stenosis for the patient at the rest state, without subjecting the patient to hyperemia, or performing any measurements or biophysical computations at hyperemia.
  • the mapping may be generally represented as equation (2) to determine the change in pressure ⁇ P at hyperemia.
  • the mapping function ⁇ may be determined using, e.g., machine learning, an optimization approach, a statistical approach, a data-driven approach, a control system based approach, or any other suitable function that can represent relationships between the pressure drop across the stenosis for a patient at the rest state and the pressure drop across the stenosis for a patient at the hyperemia state.
  • the mapping function ⁇ may be trained in an offline step using training data.
  • the training data may include pressure drops across a stenosis for a set of patients at a rest state and at a hyperemia state.
  • the pressure drops across a stenosis may be computed based on, e.g., actual blood flow measurements for the set of patients at a rest state and at a hyperemia state, simulated blood flow measurements for the set of patients at a rest state and at a hyperemia state, or a combination of both.
  • the set of patients used in the training may be all patients having pressure drop data available at a rest state and at a hyperemia state, a particular subclass of patients (e.g., based on demographics, medical history, family history, etc.), or may be patient specific (e.g., using data from that specific patient).
  • the pressure drop across the stenosis for the patient at the hyperemia state may be determined by first determining, at the rest state, a pressure distal to the stenosis, Pd(rest), and a pressure proximate to the stenosis, Pa(rest), and then mapping Pd(rest) and Pa(rest) individually to the hyperemia state values, Pd(hyperemia) and Pa(hyperemia), respectively.
  • the pressure drop across the stenosis can then be calculated for a patient at the hyperemia state based on Pd(hyperemia) and Pa(hyperemia).
  • the FFR of the stenosis for the patient at the hyperemia state is outputted.
  • the FFR of a stenosis is a representation of the pressure drop across the stenosis for a patient at hyperemia.
  • the FFR for a stenosis may be represented as in equation (4).
  • the FFR of a stenosis for a patient at a hyperemia state may be determined using a different rest state metric.
  • the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) of a patient at a rest state may be mapped to the FFR of the stenosis for the patient at a hyperemia state based on features extracted from patient data of a patient at the rest state.
  • the mapping may be represented as equation (5).
  • FFR(hyperemia) f (iFR(rest),Features(rest)) (5)
  • a quantity of interest of a patient in a post-intervention state may be determined without actually performing the intervention or explicitly measuring/computing the QoI in the post-intervention state.
  • Conventional techniques for predicting the effect of an intervention on a quantity of interest rely on first performing a virtual intervention (e.g., modifying an anatomical model of an organ to simulate the effect of the intervention on the anatomy) and then computing the physiological metrics in the post-intervention state by performing biophysical computations.
  • a QoI of a patient in the post-intervention state may be determined based on the QoI of the patient in the pre-intervention state and features of the patient in the pre-intervention state.
  • the intervention may be, e.g., a stenting procedure whereby the stenosis in a blood vessel is treated by inserting a stent and dilating it in order to ease constriction. This allows for blood to flow more easily, thereby alleviating the pressure drop.
  • a stenting procedure whereby the stenosis in a blood vessel is treated by inserting a stent and dilating it in order to ease constriction. This allows for blood to flow more easily, thereby alleviating the pressure drop.
  • the mapping of the pressure drop of a patient in a pre-stenting state can be mapped to determine the pressure drop of a patient in a post-stenting state based on features of the patient data in the pre-stenting state.
  • the features of the patient data in the pre-stenting state may include anatomical aspects of the vessel, properties of the stent (e.g., length of the stent, diameter of the stent), etc.

  • ⁇ P (post-stent) f ( ⁇ P (pre-stent),Features(pre-stent)) (6)

  • the intervention may include a stent therapy, a flow diverter therapy, an ablation therapy, an electrical simulation therapy, a vascular surgery, etc.
