Claim 0:
1. A method of generating a coronary artery model comprising:
receiving patient-specific anatomical structure data and patient-specific physiological data, wherein the anatomical structure data comprises structural information about a patient's coronary arteries, and wherein the patient-specific physiological data comprises a continuously recorded blood pressure waveform from a non-invasive measurement;
generating, based at least in part on the anatomical structure data, an anatomical model of at least a portion of the patient's coronary arteries;
generating an inflow or an outflow waveform boundary condition for a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of blood flow in the anatomical model by:
(i) assigning the continuously recorded blood pressure waveform as the boundary condition, and
(ii) using the continuously recorded blood pressure waveform to model the boundary condition;

simulating blood flow in the anatomical model using CFD and the inflow or the outflow waveform boundary condition for the CFD simulation of blood flow; and
determining, based at least in part on the simulation, one or more hemodynamic parameters associated with the patient's coronary arteries,
thereby generating a coronary artery model.
