Moment Constraints in Radiation Therapy Planning Optimization Incorporating Patient-Specific Anatomical Geometry
… due to the base model lacking patient-specific anatomical or dosimetric information. To address that, an enhanced model is proposed that incorporates the so-called dose deposition matrix, thereby requiring reformulating the problem as a mixed-integer program (MIP). By embedding geometric …

Biomechanical Analysis of Femoral Neck Strength with Respect to Femoral Head Core Decompression
It is estimated that between 10,000 and 20,000 new patients present with avascular necrosis of the femoral head each year in the United States. The current treatment for avascular necrosis is femoral head core decompression which is used to decrease the intraosseous pressure and promote vascular …

MODERNIZATION OF THE MOCK CIRCULATORY LOOP: ADVANCED PHYSICAL MODELING, HIGH PERFORMANCE HARDWARE, AND INCORPORATION OF ANATOMICAL MODELS
… systemic mock circulatory loop, inclusive of anatomical geometries at critical flow sections, and accompanying software tools to execute precise investigations of cardiac device performance. Delivering this complete testing solution will be achieved through three research aims: (1) Utilization …

A shape analysis approach to prediction of bone stiffness using FEXI
… to the overall risk of fracture, including anatomical geometry and the spatial distribution of bone. Finite element analysis can be performed in both two and three dimensions, and predicts the deformation or induced stress when a load is applied to a structure (such as a bone) of defined …
