Medical Applications

Finite Element Analysis/Computational Fluid Dynamics

• Biomechanical research of anatomical structures



• Physiological fluid flow



• Pre-clinical evaluation of novel implant performance in vivo
  Simulate the performance of a novel implant design on a range of realistic computer models



• Patient specific assessment of fracture stability
  Provide improved assessment of stability of fractured/damaged bone; also post-operative assessment of stability (after arthroplasty, verterbroplasty, at different stages of healing)

Rapid Prototyping

• Design of patient specific implants
  as well as verify their fit on the model, e.g. skull plates, mandibular replacements, etc.



• Generation of patient specific surgical guides



• Improved visualisation of anatomical features



• Improved communication between surgical team and patient



• Rehearsal of surgical procedures and reduction of operation time
