Image-based modelling and simulation of human anatomy

摘要

There has been increasing interest in the generation of models appropriate for computational modelling from imaging modalities such as MRI and CT. Although a wide range of mesh generation techniques are available, these on the whole have not been developed for meshing from 3D imaging data. The paper will focus on techniques specific to image-based meshing, and will also discuss new tools improving the interface with commercial computer-aided design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages. A number of examples that cover different applications within Biomechanics applications will be presented.
