1. A method for identifying treatment options for stenotic lesions within a vessel, comprising:
providing for display, by one or more processors, a 3D representation of a vessel based on vessel image data, wherein the display of the 3D representation of the vessel includes an indication of vessel narrowing;
providing for display, by the one or more processors, a proximal location indicator and a distal location indicator, wherein the proximal location indicator is located proximally to the indication of vessel narrowing and the distal location indicator is located distally to the indication of vessel narrowing;
receiving, by the one or more processors, user input for controlling a position for at least one of the proximal location indicator or the distal location indicator;
simulating, by the one or more processors, widening the vessel between the proximal location indicator and the distal location indicator by altering at least one of a 3D computational model or a resistance model; and
providing for display, by the one or more processors, an indication of at least one of vascular resistance or pressure based on simulating the widening of the vessel.
