Effects of Levator Ani Muscle Morphology on the Mechanics of Vaginal Childbirth
Childbirth-induced trauma is one of the leading factors that cause pelvic floor (PF) muscle dysfunction. There is preliminary evidence to suggest that the morphology of the levator ani (LA) muscles influences ...

Modelling Prone to Supine Breast Deformation Under Gravity Loading Using Heterogeneous Finite Element Models
Biomechanical models of the breast can be used to co-locate information between the various medical images to identify tumour locations, while also providing the ability to predict their locations during surgi...

Automatic Landmark Detection Using Statistical Shape Modelling and Template Matching
We propose a new methodology for automated landmark detection for breast MR images that combines statistical shape modelling and template matching into a single framework. The method trains a statistical shape...

Robust Landmark Identification for Generating Subject Specific Models for Biomechanics
We propose a robust and accurate method for automatic landmark identification for torso MR images. The method combines cross-correlation and statistical models into a single framework. Principal component anal...

Registration of Prone and Supine Breast MRI for Breast Cancer Treatment Planning
This study aimed to determine the accuracy to which prone and supine MRI can be registered using biomechanical models, to help clinicians with pre-operative breast cancer treatment planning. A framework was de...

Abusive Head Trauma: Develo** a Computational Adult Head Model to Predict Brain Deformations under Mild Accelerations
Abusive head trauma, previously termed “shaken baby syndrome”, refers to head injuries inflicted on young infants by their caregivers. There is currently a lack of scientific evidence around the causes of thes...

Subpixel Measurement of Living Skin Deformation Using Intrinsic Features
Accurate measurement of skin deformation is essential to study and understand its behaviour under mechanical load. Digital image correlation (DIC) techniques are commonly used for in-vivo subpixel measurements...

Image-Based Biomechanical Modelling of Heart Failure
Effective diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease is hampered by a lack of knowledge of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms on a patient-specific basis. Biomechanical factors, such as intrin...

Quantifying Carotid Pulse Waveforms Using Subpixel Image Registration
Cardiovascular diseases are a common cause of death. Symptoms of cardiovascular disease often arise at a stage of the disease where treatments are ineffective. Hence, methods that can help early diagnosis of h...

Removing Drift from Carotid Arterial Pulse Waveforms: A Comparison of Motion Correction and High-Pass Filtering
Non-invasive methods for estimating carotid artery (CA) pressure waveforms have been recently developed as a tool to detect heart abnormalities. Among non-invasive techniques, camera-based methods have the adv...
