Computational Biomechanics for Medicine: Deformation and Flow

One of the greatest challenges for mechanical engineers is to extend the success of computational mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering, in particular to biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine.This book is an opportunity for computational biomechanics specialists to present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying their techniques to computer-integrated medicine.

Computational Biomechanics for Medicine: Deformation and Flowcollects the papers from theSixth Computational Biomechanics for Medicine Workshop held in Toronto in conjunctionwith theMedical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention conference. The topics covered include: medical image analysis, image-guided surgery, surgicalsimulation, surgical intervention planning, disease prognosis and diagnostics, injury mechanismanalysis, implant and prostheses design, and medical robotics.
