基于计算流体动力学(CFD)的冠脉血流模拟能提供压力梯度等血流动力学指标,用于冠状动脉疾病(CAD)诊断。但CFD计算成本高、耗时长,难以融入大规模临床流程。这限制了有标签血流动力学数据的获取,阻碍了无创生理评估的普及。为此,我们构建了一个端到端流程:自动化从冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影(CCTA)提取血管几何,简化仿真数据生成,并高效学习冠脉血压分布。该流程显著降低人工负担,确保训练数据一致性。我们进一步提出一种基于扩散的回归模型,可直接从CCTA特征预测冠脉血压,避免推理时进行耗时的CFD计算。在模拟冠脉血流动力学数据集上,该模型表现达到当前最优水平,R²为64.42%,均方根误差为0.0974,归一化均方根误差为0.154,优于多个基线方法。本工作提供了一种可扩展、易部署的快速无创血压预测框架,助力CAD诊断。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based simulation of coronary blood flow provides valuable hemodynamic markers, such as pressure gradients, for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). However, CFD is computationally expensive, time-consuming, and difficult to integrate into large-scale clinical workflows. These limitations restrict the availability of labeled hemodynamic data for training AI models and hinder broad adoption of non-invasive, physiology based CAD assessment. To address these challenges, we develop an end to end pipeline that automates coronary geometry extraction from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), streamlines simulation data generation, and enables efficient learning of coronary blood pressure distributions. The pipeline reduces the manual burden associated with traditional CFD workflows while producing consistent training data. We further introduce a diffusion-based regression model designed to predict coronary blood pressure directly from CCTA derived features, bypassing the need for slow CFD computation during inference. Evaluated on a dataset of simulated coronary hemodynamics, the proposed model achieves state of the art performance, with an R2 of 64.42%, a root mean squared error of 0.0974, and a normalized RMSE of 0.154, outperforming several baseline approaches. This work provides a scalable and accessible framework for rapid, non-invasive blood pressure prediction to support CAD diagnosis.
