Computational biomechanics for medicine: soft tissues and the musculoskeletal system

One of the greatest challenges for mechanists is to extend the success of computational mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering, in particular to biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine. The proposed workshop will provide an opportunity for computational biomechanics specialists to present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying their techniques to computer-integrated medicine.These are peer-reviewed proceedings of the workshop affiliated to a major international research conference (Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention MICCAI 2010 in Beijing) dedicated to researchin the field of medical image computing and computer assisted medical interventions. The list of subjects covered include: medical image analysis, image-guided surgery, surgical simulation, surgical intervention planning, disease prognosis and diagnostics, injury mechanism analysis, implant and prostheses design, medical robotics. Introduces a novel partnership between surgeons, biomechanical engineers and experts in computational methods that helps overcome the limitations of traditional surgeryCovers Computer-Integrated Surgery (CIS) systems and promotes a multidisciplinary approach that can improve clinical outcomes and the efficiency of health care deliveryWith contributors from institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Imperial College, etc. INDICE: Part I: Computational Biomechanics of Soft Tissues, Flow and Injury Biomechanics - Development of Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) Version 4and Its Application to Biomechanical Research, by T Yasuki -Investigation of Brain Trauma Biomechanics in Vehicle Traffic Accidents using Human Body Computational Models by J Yang -Blood Flow Simulation in a Giant Intracranial Aneurysm and its Validation by Digital Subtraction Angiography, by H Ho, et. al. -Patient Specific Hemodynamics: Combined 4D Flow-Sensitive MRI and CFD, by A.F.
