Automatic Vascular Model Generation Based On Fluid-Structure Interactions (Fsi)
view source
US Patent:

8554490, Oct 8, 2013
Filed:

Feb 18, 2010
Appl. No.:

13/201946
Inventors:

Dalin Tang - Shrewsbury MA, US
Zhongzhao Teng - Lianjiang, CN
Assignee:

Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Worcester MA
International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/20
G06K 9/36
A61B 5/02
US Classification:

702 19, 600481, 600508, 382128, 382282, 382286
Abstract:

A computer system and method are disclosed for automatically generating a vascular model of a blood vessel to support, for example, identification of mechanical factors corresponding to the blood vessel. The method includes interpolating data points corresponding to a contour of the blood vessel; generating a structural model representing three-dimensional structural characteristics of the blood vessel based on interpolated contours; generating a fluid model representing three-dimensional characteristics of fluid flow within the vessel; and generating a vascular model based on the structural model and the fluid model. The method may also include performing a mechanical analysis of the vascular model to identify a mechanical factor associated with the vessel, for example, a factor associated with a potential plaque rupture within the vessel. Embodiments of the invention are applicable to the diagnosis, assessment, or treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

US Patent:

20060149522, Jul 6, 2006
Filed:

Dec 8, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/296943
Inventors:

Dalin Tang - Shrewsbury MA, US
International Classification:

G06G 7/48
US Classification:

703011000
Abstract:

A method and a computer system, for providing an assessment for disease status of a disease, such as a cardiovascular disease, employ construction of image-based 3D computational model of an organ representative of the disease status; computationally obtaining a certain mechanical distribution using the 3D-organ model; and computational, quantitative analysis of the mechanical distribution to provide an assessment for disease status of a disease. The image-based 3D computational model includes a fluid-structure interaction and multiple components within the organ.

US Patent:

20080319308, Dec 25, 2008
Filed:

May 22, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/125366
Inventors:

Dalin Tang - Shrewsbury MA, US
Assignee:

Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Worcester MA
International Classification:

A61B 5/055
US Classification:

600416, 703 11, 128898
Abstract:

A method for determining cardiac status comprises for a given patient, constructing a patient-specific, three-dimensional, computational model of the patient's heart; and executing the constructed computational model, said executing generating a quantitative analysis of cardiac function. A method of performing cardiac surgeries comprises: a) assessing surgical options based on a patient-specific, three-dimensional, computational model of a patient's heart; and b) performing surgery based on one or more of the surgical options. A computer system comprises: a) a data source containing data of a patient's heart; b) a modeler coupled to receive data from the data source, the modeler generating a patient-specific, three-dimensional, computational model of the heart based on the heart data; and c) a processor routine for computationally providing information about a certain cardiac function using the three-dimensional heart model and for applying computational, quantitative analysis of the cardiac function, wherein the quantitative analysis of the cardiac function provides an assessment for surgical options, optimizing surgical techniques, or predicting outcomes.
