Synopsis

This book contains the written contributions to the 4th International Sym- sium on Biomedical Simulation (ISBMS), which was held at Imperial College in London, UK, July 7-8, 2008. The manuscripts areorganizedin four di?erent sections correspondingto key areas and techniques of this constantly expanding ?eld: ?nite element modeling, mass spring and statistical shape modeling, motion and ?uid modeling and - plementation issues. An additional section covers the posters presented at the meeting. Recent years have seen increased interest in computational models for b- medical simulation. The symposium provided an international forum for - searchers in this area to share their latest work and to discuss future trends. It was held in the spirit and continuation of the symposia on Surgical Simu- tion and Soft Tissue Modeling (IS4TM) organized in 2003 by INRIA, Medical Simulation (ISMS) in 2004 by CIMIT and Biomedical Simulation (ISBMS) in 2006 by ETH.

About this title

Product Description:

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Biomedical Simulation, ISBMS 2008, held in London, UK, in July 2008. The 19 revised full papers and 7 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in four different sections corresponding to key areas and techniques of this constantly expanding field: finite element modeling, mass spring and statistical shape modeling, motion and fluid modeling and implementation issues. An additional section covers the posters presented at the meeting.
