Abstract
Patient-specific simulations of human physiological processes remain the challenge for many years. Detailed 3D reconstruction of body anatomical parts on the basis of medical images is an important stage of individualized simulations in physiology. In this paper we present and develop the methods and algorithms for construction of patient-specific discrete geometric models. These models are represented by anatomically correct computational meshes. Practical use of these methods is demonstrated for two important medical applications: numerical evaluation of fractional flow reserve in coronary arteries and electrocardiography simulation
