    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for generating higher resolution volumetric image data from lower resolution volumetric image data includes receiving volumetric image data of a scanned subject, wherein the volumetric image data includes data representing a periodically moving structure of interest of the scanned subject, and wherein the volumetric image data covers multiple motion cycles of the periodically moving structure of interest. The method further includes estimating inter-image motion between neighboring images of the received volumetric image data. The method further includes registering the received volumetric image data based at least on the estimated inter-image motion. The method further includes generating the higher resolution volumetric image data based on the registered volumetric image data, a super resolution post-processing algorithm, and a point spread function of an imaging system that generated the volumetric image data. The higher resolution volumetric image data has an image resolution that is greater than the lower resolution volumetric image data.

    Abstract: A method includes for non-invasively determining an instantaneous wave-free ratio metric includes receiving electronically formatted image data generated by an imaging system. The image data includes voxels with intensities representative of a vessel with a stenosis. The method further includes computing peripheral resistances of outlets of the vessel from the image data. The method further includes calculating a stenosis resistance of the stenosis between an inlet of the vessel inlet and the outlets of the vessel based on a set of boundary conditions and a computational fluid dynamics algorithm. The method further includes calculating the instantaneous wave-free ratio metric. The metric is a numerical value, based on the stenosis resistance and generating a signal indicative of the calculated instantaneous wave-free ratio metric.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for determining a fractional flow reserve (FFR) value of the coronary artery system of a living being (3). A fractional flow reserve value determination unit (13) determines the FFR value by using an FFR value determination algorithm that is adapted to determine the FFR value based on a boundary condition and a provided representation of the coronary artery system, wherein the boundary condition is specific for the living being and determined by a boundary condition determination unit (12). Since the boundary condition determination unit determines a boundary condition, which is specific for the living being, and since the fractional flow reserve value determination unit not only uses the provided representation of the coronary artery system, but also the living being specific boundary condition for determining the FFR value, the accuracy of the FFR value, which is non-invasively determined, can be improved.
