1. Bringing vascular biomechanics into clinical practice. Simulation-based decisions for elective abdominal aortic aneurysms repair -- 2. A subject-specific framework to inform musculoskeletal modelling: Outcomes from the IUPS Physiome Project -- 3. Patient specific computational modelling in cardiovascular mechanics -- 4. Modeling the human heart under acute ischemia -- 5.  Detailing patient specific  modelling to aid clinical decision-making -- 6. Computational analysis of flow and stress patterns in patient specific thoracic aortic aneurysm models -- 7. Patient-specific biomechanical framework for  aiding clinical decisions in eye surgery.

This book addresses patient-specific modeling. It integrates computational modeling, experimental procedures, imagine clinical segmentation and mesh generation with the finite element method (FEM) to solve problems in computational biomedicine and bioengineering. Specific areas of interest include cardiovascular problems, ocular and muscular systems and soft tissue modeling. Patient-specific modeling has been the subject of serious research over the last seven years and interest in the area is continually growing and this area is expected to further develop in the near future.
