摘要:
The invention generally relates to systems and methods for predicting impact of a catheter on curvature of a vessel. In certain aspects, the invention provides a system for predicting impact of a catheter on curvature of a vessel. The system includes a central processing unit (CPU) and storage coupled to the CPU for storing instructions. The stored instructions, when executed by the CPU, cause the CPU to accept as input data representative of stiffness of a catheter. The CPU is additionally caused to compare the data to a material parameters data set. The material parameters data set includes vessel displacement values for catheters of different stiffness. The CPU is additionally caused to predict impact of the catheter on a curvature of a vessel based on the comparison of the data to the material parameters data set, and to provide the prediction as an output.
