ABSTRACT
The principal reasons for the construction of computer models of systemic physiological models are no different from the problem of theoretical computations in any other field. Systemic physiology, by which I mean the written literature of the subject as distinct from the process of acquiring such information, is voluminous, undoubtedly redundant, and probably contains many contradictions. Moreover, it is difficult to separate opinion from observation, correlation from imputations of causality. Nevertheless, this is the milieu on which the intelligent physiologist functions. He pushes the frontier forward in every decreasing salients because the weight of past experience becomes more and more unmanageable.

Image and physiological data fusion for guidance and modelling of cardiac resynchronization therapy procedures
STACOM'10/CESC'10: Proceedings of the First international conference on Statistical atlases and computational models of the heart, and international conference on Cardiac electrophysiological simulation challengeCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can be an effective procedure for patients with heart failure but 30% of patients do not respond. This may be partially caused by the sub-optimal placement of the left ventricular (LV) lead. Detailed cardiac ...
Physiological modeling of tumor-affected renal circulation
One way of gaining insight into what can be observed in medical images is through physiological modeling. For instance, anatomical and functional modifications occur in the organ during the appearance and the growth of a tumor. Some of these changes ...
Thorax Physiological Monitoring and Modeling for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Edema
In this paper, the authors prove that variations in thoracic volumes are greatly responsive to the act of breathing i.e., inspiration and expiration. These variations may be adopted for diagnosing various respiration related diseases and pulmonary ...
