MUMBAI, India, Aug. 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421013196 A) filed by Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Maharashtra, on Feb. 23, 2024, for 'method for generating a personalized 4d cardiac model.'
Inventor(s) include Kanakatte Gurumurthy, Aparna; Ghose, Avik; Bhatia, Divya Manoharlal; Mazumder, Oishee; Sinha, Aniruddha; Agarwal, Swapna; Khandelwal, Sundeep; Chaudhury, Rupam; Banerjee, Shilajit; Das, Sudip Kumar; and Chandel, Vivek.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 29, under issue no. 35/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Planning cardiac surgery is a complex task. Current heart models are mostly static and provide no functional information or personalization apart from structural information from imaging modalities like MRI, CT etc. The embodiments of present disclosure addresses unresolved problem of generating a personalized four dimensional cardiac model that integrates blood flow velocity, pressure profile and volume on three-dimensional cardiac structure, providing a comprehensive tool for pre or post-surgical planning and analysis. Unlike existing techniques, which often rely on separate assessments of cardiac anatomy and hemodynamics, using invasive methods, the present disclosure provides a 4D cardiac model that captures the person specific dynamic interaction between cardiac structures and blood flow throughout the cardiac cycle. Further, the 4D cardiac model enables clinicians to visualize and quantify complex flow patterns and pressure distributions within the region of interest in the heart, facilitating precise surgical planning and outcome prediction especially in pediatric heart surgery."
