This paper reviews various nonlinear analysis methods for physiological signals. The
assessment is based on a discussion of chaos-inspired methods, such as fractal dimension …

The deformation of soft tissue compromises the accuracy of image-guided surgery based on
preoperative images, and restricts its applicability to surgery on or near bony structures. One …

This contribution presents finite element computation of the deformation field within the brain
during craniotomy-induced brain shift. The results were used to illustrate the capabilities of …

Realistic surgical simulation requires incorporation of the mechanical properties of soft
tissue in mathematical models. In actual deformation of soft-tissue during surgical …

The use of biomechanical modelling, especially in conjunction with finite element analysis,
has become common in many areas of medical image analysis and surgical simulation …

Imaging modalities that can be used intra-operatively do not provide sufficient details to
confidently locate the abnormalities and critical healthy areas that have been identified from …

In this review paper we discuss Intelligent Systems for Medicine Laboratory's contributions to
mathematical and numerical modelling of brain deformation behaviour for neurosurgical …

This study investigates the mechanics of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) growth
using a computational approach. We created a generic 3-D brain mesh of a healthy human …

Computational biomechanics of the brain for neurosurgery is an emerging area of research
recently gaining in importance and practical applications. This review paper presents the …

This article presents a summary of the key-note lecture delivered at Biomechanics 10
Conference held in August 2010 in Warsaw. We present selected topics in the area of …
