A vessel length-based method to compute coronary fractional flow reserve from optical coherence tomography images

Abstract Background Hemodynamic simulation for quantifying fractional flow reserve (FFR) is often performed in a patient-specific geometry of coronary arteries reconstructed from the images from various imaging modalities. Because optical coherence tomography (OCT) images can provide more precise va...
