Personalized Analysis of Left Atrial Blood Flow through Computational Modeling
In this thesis, the atrial blood flow was modeled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to better understand atrial hemodynamics and blood stasis. Atrial hemodynamics and especially stasis are of interest since thrombi can form in the left atrium, travel with the blood stream to the brain, and cause strokes. To model atrial blood flow in a personalized manner, several modeling assumptions and choices need to be made, for example how to model the motion of the atrial wall. There are different approaches to estimate stasis; however, there is no standard method. While it is known that in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the stroke risk is increased, the exact mechanisms for this are n...
Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart, which took place online during June 21-24, 2021, organized by the University of Stanford. The 65 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: advanced cardiac and cardiovascular image processing; cardiac microstructure: measures and models; novel approaches to measuring heart deformation; cardiac mechanics: measures and models; translational cardiac mechanics; modeling electrophysiology, ECG, and arrhythmia; cardiovascular flow: measures and models; and atrial microstructure, modeling, and thrombosis prediction.
Theory and Applications of CT Imaging and Analysis
The x-ray computed tomography (CT) is well known as a useful imaging method and thus CT images have continuingly been used for many applications, especially in medical fields. This book discloses recent advances and new ideas in theories and applications for CT imaging and its analysis. The 16 chapters selected in this book cover not only the major topics of CT imaging and analysis in medical fields, but also some advanced applications for forensic and industrial purposes. These chapters propose state-of-the-art approaches and cutting-edge research results.
Computer Methods, Imaging and Visualization in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering II
This book gathers selected, extended and revised contributions to the 17th International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering and the 5th Conference on Imaging and Visualization (CMBBE 2021), held online on September 7-9, 2021, from Bonn, Germany. It reports on cutting-edge models, algorithms and imaging techniques for studying cells, tissues and organs in normal and pathological conditions. It covers numerical and machine learning methods, finite element modeling and virtual reality techniques, applied to understand biomechanics of movement, fluid and soft tissue biomechanics. It also reports on related advances in rehabilitation, surgery and diagnosis. All in all, this book offers a timely snapshot of the latest research and current challenges at the interface between biomedical engineering, computational biomechanics and biological imaging. Thus, it is expected to provide a source of inspiration for future research and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Biomechanics and Mechanobiology of the Lumbar Spine
Biomechanics and Mechanobiology of the Lumbar Spine: Computational Approaches: From Research to In Silico Medicine aims to outline how major decision points-such as goal-adapted numerical approximations-infer in the capability of lumbar spine models to provide valuable cause-and-effect relationships in the study of organ conditions and treatments. The spine presents an astonishing balance between mechanical resistance and flexibility in the human body, provided by complex interactions that are extremely difficult to restore when altered in disease. Given that these interactions are difficult to assess in situ, designing efficient treatments for low back pain remains a grand challenge in medi...
