Flow resistances exerted in the coronary arteries are key parameters for the image-based computer simulation of coronary hemodynamics. A simple and reliable estimation of resistances is crucial for computing the fractional flow reserve (FFR) of stenosed coronary arteries. In this study, we propose a novel method to estimate flow resistances using vessel length, which can be used across various image modalities. We validated this method by comparing it with the traditional muscle volume-based method and clinical data.
