Abstract :
A new adaptive algorithm is developed for the reconstruction of geometric models of carotid arteries and human airways from CT images. Based on the patient-specific geometric models, Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of patient´s blood and air flows are constructed to calculate hemodynamic parameters and particle deposition patterns for patient-specific clinical applications.
