Abstract

An algorithmic chain for the forward ECG simulation using personalized anatomical patient models is proposed. The proposed algorithmic chain contains algorithms for segmentation of medical images, mesh generation and solving the forward ECG problem. The algorithms for segmentation and solving the forward ECG problem are accelerated. The working time of the algorithmic chain is evaluated.
