The following titles and abstracts are a selection of recent publications, representing part of the Unit's research work. The Bio Medical Modelling Unit, being in a state of expansion, is currently looking for motivated and enthusiastic persons who are interested in pursuing postgraduate studying. Funding may be possible. Students are encouraged to suggest particular projects of interest relevant to the applied technology.
Informal inquiries are welcome.
Please contact the Unit for further information. Medical Imaging has been providing important data on various body structures for diagnostic reasons. The possibility of using the provided data, practically and accurately, to obtain geometric information of body structures and generate easily three-dimensional models would be very important. Such models would be very useful for the realistic analysis of structures through FEA techniques and the design of various implants. The development of rapid prototyping models would assist the verification of implant designs but also the visualisation and communication of complex pathologies in a hospital environment.
