    CALL FOR PAPERS

    MICCAI Computational Biomechanics for Medicine VII Workshop
    <http://school.mech.uwa.edu.au/CBM2012/> ,
    <http://cbm.mech.uwa.edu.au/>
    will be held in Nice (France) on October 01, 2012, in
    conjunction with the Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions MICCAI 2012 <http://www.miccai.org/news/miccai-2012-workshops-and-challenges-call-papers>.

    Rationale:

    Mathematical modelling and computer simulation have proved tremendously
    successful in engineering. One of the greatest challenges for mechanists is to
    extend the success of computational mechanics to fields outside traditional
    engineering, in particular to biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine. The
    proposed workshop will provide an opportunity for computational biomechanics
    specialists to present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying
    their techniques to computer-integrated medicine. For example, continuum
    mechanics models provide a rational basis for analysing biomedical images by
    constraining the solution to biologically reasonable motions and processes.
    Biomechanical modelling can also provide clinically important information about
    the physical status of the underlying biology, integrating information across
    molecular, tissue, organ, and organism scales. The main goal of this workshop
    is to showcase the clinical and scientific utility of computational
    biomechanics in computer-integrated medicine.

    Scope:

    The following computational mechanics disciplines will be included:
    1. Computational solid mechanics
    2. Computational multibody systems kinematics and dynamics
    3. Computational fluid mechanics
    4. Computational thermodynamics (e.g. heat transfer, radiation)

    We solicit papers that use methods of computational biomechanics in the
    following application areas:
    . Medical image analysis
    . Image-guided surgery
    . Surgical simulation
    . Surgical intervention planning
    . Surgical technique development
    . Disease prognosis and diagnosis
    . Injury mechanism analysis
    . Surgical aid design
    . Artificial organs
    . Implant and prostheses design
    . Medical robotics
    . Tissue engineering
    . Understanding of embryonic development
    . Understanding of aging
