FFR-CT Analysis

An FFR-CT Analysis is a computational medical analysis that derives ffr-ct fractional flow reserve from ffr-ct coronary cta images using ffr-ct fluid dynamics simulation by HeartFlow, Inc..

• AKA: CT-Derived FFR, Fractional Flow Reserve CT, Computational FFR.
• Context:
  • It can typically calculate FFR-CT Pressure Gradients across ffr-ct coronary lesions.
  • It can typically determine FFR-CT Hemodynamic Significance without ffr-ct invasive measurement.
  • It can typically predict FFR-CT Functional Ischemia through ffr-ct blood flow modeling.
  • It can typically guide FFR-CT Treatment Planning for ffr-ct coronary intervention.
  • It can typically provide FFR-CT Vessel-Specific Values along ffr-ct coronary tree.
  • ...
  • It can often identify FFR-CT False Positive CTA reducing ffr-ct unnecessary catheterization.
  • It can often assess FFR-CT Multivessel Disease in ffr-ct single analysis.
  • It can often evaluate FFR-CT Serial Lesions determining ffr-ct cumulative effect.
  • It can often predict FFR-CT Post-Intervention Outcomes through ffr-ct virtual stenting.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple FFR-CT Analysis to being a Complex FFR-CT Analysis, depending on its ffr-ct computational complexity.
  • It can range from being a Single-Vessel FFR-CT Analysis to being a Multi-Vessel FFR-CT Analysis, depending on its ffr-ct assessment scope.
  • ...
  • It can utilize FFR-CT Machine Learning Algorithms for ffr-ct anatomic processing.
  • It can employ FFR-CT Computational Fluid Dynamics for ffr-ct flow simulation.
  • It can generate FFR-CT 3D Color Maps for ffr-ct visual interpretation.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • FFR-CT Analysis Components, such as:
    • FFR-CT Anatomic Segmentation extracting ffr-ct coronary tree geometry.
    • FFR-CT Flow Simulation computing ffr-ct hemodynamic parameters.
    • FFR-CT Pressure Calculation determining ffr-ct fractional flow values.
  • FFR-CT Analysis Applications, such as:
    • FFR-CT Intermediate Stenosis Evaluation for ffr-ct borderline lesions.
    • FFR-CT Multi-Vessel Assessment analyzing ffr-ct complete coronary tree.
    • FFR-CT Pre-PCI Planning optimizing ffr-ct intervention strategy.
  • FFR-CT Analysis Outputs, such as:
    • FFR-CT Numerical Value providing ffr-ct quantitative measures.
    • FFR-CT Color-Coded Model displaying ffr-ct pressure distributions.
    • FFR-CT Clinical Report summarizing ffr-ct hemodynamic findings.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Invasive FFR Measurement, which uses invasive pressure wire rather than ffr-ct computational analysis.
  • Visual Stenosis Assessment, which estimates visual diameter reduction rather than ffr-ct functional impact.
  • Stress Perfusion Imaging, which detects perfusion ischemia rather than ffr-ct pressure gradient.
