ABSTRACT:
A method and system for processing a cardiac image dataset acquired from an imaging system is provided. A location of a first potential blockage point within a first cardiac vessel is located. A functional impact of the first potential blockage point on the cardiac tissue is predicted, and a representation of the functional impact is provided.
