Rationale:
Mathematical modelling 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 modelling 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.
