This book collects the state-of-art and new trends in image analysis and
biomechanics. It covers a wide field of scientific and cultural topics,
ranging from remodeling of bone tissue under the mechanical stimulus up
to optimizing the performance of sports equipment, through the
patient-specific modeling in orthopedics, microtomography and its
application in oral and implant research, computational modeling in the
field of hip prostheses, image based model development and analysis of
the human knee joint, kinematics of the hip joint, micro-scale analysis
of compositional and mechanical properties of dentin, automated
techniques for cervical cell image analysis, and biomedical imaging and
computational modeling in cardiovascular disease.
The book will be of interest to researchers, Ph.D students, and graduate
students with multidisciplinary interests related to image analysis and
understanding, medical imaging, biomechanics, simulation and modeling,
experimental analysis
