METHODS: In this non experimental quantitative study, firstly we simulated coronary and aorta arteries with normal dimensions in a 4D extended NURBS based cardiac-torso phantom in a matrix sizes of 512×512 with slice thickness of 0.116 mm. Then, twenty five venous thromboembolisms with the diameters ranged 0.1-5 and 5-20 mm were created in the coronary arteries and aorta of the Phantom, respectively.

FINDINGS: The difference on measures with the software was obtained 0.03±0.021 for embolies less than 4.64 mm (0.1 ml), (r=0.67, p=0.02), and 0.02±0.008 mm for embolies greater than 4.64 mm (r=0.99, p<0.001).
