Computational Simulation: Selected Applications In Medicine, Dentistry, And Surgery

Abstract

This article presents the use of computational modelling software (e.g. ANSYS) for the purposes of simulating, evaluating and developing medical and surgical practice. We provide a summary of computational simulation mo delling that has recently been employed through effective collaborations between the medical, mathematical and engineering research communities. Here, particular attention is being paid to the modelling of medical devices as well as providing an overview o f modelling bone, artificial organs and microvascular blood flows in the machine space of a High Performance Computer (HPC).
