Optimisation of Intervertebral Disc Mechanical Properties and the Impact of Vertebral Alignment in Subject‐Specific Finite Element Models
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering"
DOI: 10.1002/cnm.70052
Abstract: Subject‐specific finite element models could improve understanding of how spinal loading varies between people, based on differences in morphology and tissue properties. However, determining accurate subject‐specific intervertebral disc (IVD) properties can be difficult due to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mrm.27948
Abstract: Local specific absorption rate (SAR) cannot be measured and is usually evaluated by offline numerical simulations using generic body models that of course will differ from the patient's anatomy. An additional safety margin is needed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00062-020-00959-2
Abstract: The anatomy of the circle of Willis (CoW), the brain’s main arterial blood supply system, strongly differs between individuals, resulting in highly variable flow fields and intracranial vascularization patterns. To predict subject-specific hemodynamics with high… read more here.
