Patient specific model generation: 3D QCA vs. 3D QCA + OCT
Author: Sanven Tu, MD, PhD, Leiden University Medical Center, Belgium
CONCLUSION
- Patient specific modeling is feasible by 3D QCA or by fusion of 3D QCA and OCT ;
- The integration of 3D QCA/OCT with CFD allows assessment of both coronary anatomy and hemodynamics;
- Further studies are warrant to provide more insights into the accuracy of these two modeling techniques.
