Title:
METHOD FOR ANALYZING BLOOD FLOW BY USING MEDICAL IMAGE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/135635
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a technology for deriving a mathematical function for describing venous and arterial blood flows in the body by using a four-dimensional medical image. A method for analyzing a blood flow by using a medical image according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: determining a blood vessel position from four-dimensional medical image data that is obtained by combining three-dimensional image data of a patient's body, captured at predetermined periods; deriving a primary function for arterial and venous functions by using a vascular signal for the head region and a vascular signal for the heart region among vascular signals included in the three-dimensional image data for the blood vessel position determined in the determination step; and deriving a secondary function that is the final function for the arterial and venous functions, by using the primary function and a vascular signal for the neck region.
