Microsurgery ? Advances, Simulations and Applications

Toshio Fukuda?(Editor),?Carlos Tercero?(Editor)n?nThis book explains, using the example of endovascular intervention, the development of?in vitro?simulators for biomedical applications based on the scientific context in the robotics area and the explanation of the medical procedure to be simulated. It presents modeling methods for?in vitro?representation of human tissue and for representing tissue integrity during endovascular surgery simulation. Additionally, applications of this?in vitro?vasculature modeling technology are presented: flow control for human blood pressure simulation, computer fluid dynamics simulations using vasculature morphology, catheter insertion robot control and vasculature imaging based on magnetic trackers, and tailor-made scaffolds for blood vessel regeneration.n?nProduct DetailsnnnHardcover:?300 pagesnPublisher:?Pan Stanford Publishing; 1 edition (April 24, 2012)nLanguage:?EnglishnISBN-10:?981436469XnISBN-13:?978-9814364690
