DEADLINE EXTENSION
Computational Biomechanics for Medicine V Workshop
http://school.mech.uwa.edu.au/CBM2010/,
will be held in Beijing on September 24, 2010,
in conjunction with MICCAI 2010 http://www.miccai2010.org/. Submission deadline: June 14 (extended till June 18)
Invited Speakers:
- Tsuyoshi Yasuki, General Manager, Advanced CAE Division, Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota, Japan
" Development of Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) version 4 and its application to biomechanical research"
- Prof. Zhang Ming, Department of Health Technology and Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
"Computational Foot-Ankle Models for Joint Biomechanics and Footwear Design"
Rationale:
Mathematical modeling and computer simulation have proved tremendously
successful in engineering. 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. For example, continuum
mechanics models provide a rational basis for analysing biomedical images by
constraining the solution to biologically reasonable motions and processes.
Biomechanical modeling can also provide clinically important information about
the physical status of the underlying biology, integrating information across
molecular, tissue, organ, and organism scales. The main goal of this workshop
is to showcase the clinical and scientific utility of computational
biomechanics in computer-integrated medicine.
Scope:
The following computational mechanics disciplines will be included:
1. Computational solid mechanics
2. Computational multibody systems kinematics and dynamics
3. Computational fluid mechanics
4. Computational thermodynamics (e.g. heat transfer, radiation)
We solicit papers that use methods of computational biomechanics in the
following application areas:
. Medical image analysis
. Image-guided surgery
. Surgical simulation
. Surgical intervention planning
. Surgical technique development
. Disease prognosis and diagnosis
. Injury mechanism analysis
. Surgical aid design
. Artificial organs
. Implant and prostheses design
. Medical robotics
. Tissue engineering
. Understanding of embryonic development
. Understanding of aging
