1. A method for identifying treatment options for stenotic lesions within a vessel, comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, vessel image data;
generating, by the one or more processors, a resistance-based or computational fluid dynamic model of blood flow resistance within the vessel based on the vessel image data;
calculating, by the one or more processors, one or more predicted hemodynamic values based on the resistance-based or computational fluid dynamic model;
identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more stenotic lesions based on the resistance-based or computational fluid dynamic model;
identifying, by the one or more processors, a plurality of virtual stenting configurations based on user input;
re-calculating, by the one or more processors, the one or more predicted hemodynamic values as simulated predicted hemodynamic values in connection with simulating the plurality of virtual stenting configurations; and
providing for display, by the one or more processors, a representation of the vessel with the one or more simulated predicted hemodynamic values in connection with a selected virtual stenting configuration from the plurality of virtual stent configurations.
