Post-processing of coronary and myocardial spatial data (2207.14624v2)

Published 29 Jul 2022 in cs.DM and cs.CV

Abstract: Numerical simulations of real-world phenomenon are implemented with at least two parts: the computational scheme and the computational domain. In the context of hemodynamics, the computational domain of a simulation represents the blood vessel network through which blood flows. Such blood vessel networks can contain millions of individual vessels that are joined together to form a in series and parallel to form the network. It is computationally unfeasible to explicitly simulate blood flow in all blood vessels. Here, from imaged data of a single porcine left coronary arterial tree, we develop a data-pipeline to obtain computational domains for hemodynmaic simulations from a graph representing the coronary vascular tree. Further, we develop a method to ascertain which subregions of the left ventricle are most likely to be perfused via a given artery using a comparison with the American Heart Association division of the left ventricle as a sense check.
