The following titles and abstracts are a selection of recent publications, representing part of the Unit's research work.

• The interface of Medical Imaging, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping (RP)

• Application of a software system for the development of a three dimensional finite element model of the knee joint using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data

• The Interface of Medical Imaging, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping (RP). The knee, hip and shoulder joints as case studies

• The development of a Rapid Prototyping (RP) model of the shoulder joint

Current on-going work:

• The Interface of Medical Imaging, CAD/FEA and Rapid Prototyping: Medical Applications

• A 3D CAD and FEA model of the Shoulder Joint - Image Processing

• Computer Modelling and Medical Rapid Prototyping of Soft Tissues

• A FEA model of the Hip Joint - Implant Design Performance

• Computer Modelling of the Elbow Joint - Custom Made Implants

• Medical Rapid Prototyping - Pre-operational Planning

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.
