Third Coast Dynamics uses deep‑learning algorithms to convert standard chest CT or MRI scans into three‑dimensional aortic blood‑flow models, generating quantitative hemodynamic biomarkers linked to aneurysm and dissection risk. The AI‑driven analysis is delivered via a secure web portal with interactive 3D visualizations and structured risk reports, enabling cardiovascular physicians, radiologists, and surgeons to make more personalized treatment decisions without additional imaging.

Problem
Patients with thoracic aortic disease often rely on generic size‑based criteria from CT or MRI scans, which do not capture individualized hemodynamic risk for complications such as aneurysm rupture or dissection. This limits clinicians’ ability to make timely, patient‑specific treatment decisions.
Solution
Third Coast Dynamics applies deep‑learning algorithms to standard chest CT or MRI images to reconstruct three‑dimensional aortic blood flow (TCD flow). The platform generates quantitative hemodynamic biomarkers linked to elevated risk of severe aortic events and visualizes them in an interactive 3D model. Results are delivered to physicians through a secure web portal, enabling risk stratification and more informed therapeutic planning without additional imaging procedures. By converting routine scans into actionable risk assessments, the solution supports earlier intervention and personalized patient management.
Target Audience
Primary customers are cardiovascular physicians, radiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons who diagnose and treat thoracic aortic disease and require detailed, patient‑specific risk information.
