Miga Professor Vanderbilt University   Thu, Dec 4, 2008 2:30 PM   Location: Lopata Hall Room 101   Challenges in soft-tissue modeling include understanding the nature of physiological processes, developing mathematical descriptions and/or constitutive relationships that reflect physical behavior, and developing measurement methods to produce model-validating frameworks. These challenges have been the predominant concerns within the soft-tissue modeling community. However, with the recent breakthroughs in CPU power and medical image processing, the role of soft-tissue modeling is changing such that computer models are being extended from their predictive roles to that of a more integrated one within therapy guidance, novel forms of medical imaging, and disease characterization. In this seminar, the changing roles of soft-tissue modeling will be explored.     Mechanical, Aerospace & Structural Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis One Brookings Drive, Box 1185, St. Louis, Missouri 63130 Office Location: 305 Jolley Hall, Phone: (314) 935-6047, Fax: (314) 935-4014   Home |  Academics | Research | Department | Resources © 2009 | Did you find it?
