Towards Visualising and Understanding Patient-Specific Biomechanics of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent and irreversible dilation of the lower aortic region. The current clinical rupture risk indicator for AAA repair is an anterior-posterior AAA diameter exceedin...

A Flux-Conservative Finite Difference Scheme for Anisotropic Bioelectric Problems
We present a flux-conservative finite difference (FCFD) scheme for solving inhomogeneous anisotropic bioelectric problems. The method applies directly on the raw medical image data without the need for sophist...

A Flux-Conservative Finite Difference Scheme for the Numerical Solution of the Nonlinear Bioheat Equation
We present a flux-conservative finite difference (FCFD) scheme for solving the nonlinear (bio)heat transfer in living tissue. The proposed scheme deals with steep gradients in the material properties for malig...

A Discrete Element Method for Modelling Cell Mechanics: Application to the Simulation of Chondrocyte Behavior in the Growth Plate
In this paper we describe a discrete element method (DEM) framework we have developed for modelling the mechanical behavior of cells and tissues. By using a particle method we are able to simulate mechanical p...
