Rationale
Mathematical modelling and computer simulation have had a profound
impact on science and proved tremendously successful in engineering. One
of the greatest challenges for mechanists is to extend the success of
computational mechanics beyond traditional engineering, in particular to
medicine and biomedical sciences. The Computational Biomechanics for
Medicine workshops provide an opportunity for researchers to present and
exchange ideas on applying their techniques to computer-integrated
medicine, which includes Medical Image Computing,
Computer-Aided Modeling and Evaluation of Surgical Procedures, and
Imaging, Analysis Methods for Image Guided Therapies, Intricacies of Image-
Guided Surgery in Resource-Limited Settings, Inclusive and Fair Machine
Learning for Medical Imaging, Computational Physiology, and Medical Robotics.
For example, continuum mechanics models provide a rational basis for analysing biomedical images by constraining solutions to biologically reasonable motions and processes. Biomechanical modelling can also provide clinically significant information about the physical status of the underlying biological system by integrating information across molecular, tissue, organ, and organism scales. Comprehensive biomechanical models can also generate synthetic training data for machine learning-based image analysis systems.
The main goal of this workshop is to showcase the clinical and
scientific utility of computational biomechanics in computer-integrated
medicine.
