= Computing the Brain Deformation for Image-Guided Neurosurgery (The Intelligent Systems of Medicine Laboratory link title School of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Western Australia)=


= The Intelligent Systems of Medicine Laboratory (ISML) mission is to work towards improving clinical outcomes through appropriate use of technology. We are interested in biomechanics (both engineering biomechanics and sport biomechanics), biomedical engineering, computer integrated surgery, medical robotics and related fields. We run exciting research projects in these areas, generously funded by The Australian Research Council and other agencies.

We intend to contribute to Na-MIC by providing algorithms for computing the intra-operative brain deformations for image-guided neurosurgery. We treat the brain shift as a continuum mechanics problem involving finite deformations and solve it using non-linear finite element procedures. We use the procedures (non-linear explicit dynamics with Total Lagrangian formulation) that do not require iterations even when applied to non-linear problems and are, therefore, amenable to computing the intra-operative brain deformations in real time (under 150 s) on a standard PC. =


A Special Note: Dashed Boxes

If a blank space is the first character for a Wiki line, the following text will be listed in a dashed box, such as the one appearing at the top of each Site and Project Page containing the links to go back to previous pages. Note, that if you entered the edit mode via any of the subheading edit links, upon a "Save page" the blank space at the top of the Wiki page will be removed. Therefore, you will need to manually add the blank space to maintain the dashed text box at the top of the page. Dashed boxes are also used at the bottom of the Project Pages to link to applicable Project Week pages.

A Special Note about Publications

"In Press" publications will be listed in two places on the Wiki (in the "In Press" sections on the Publications page and on the appropriate Project page(s)). "In Press" publications will not be added to the Publications DB.

"In Print" publications will be added to the Publications DB with the appropriate Grant number (linking it to the search on the Publications DB) and with the appropriate Project page URL added as a keyword (linking it into the Project page). Once the publication is added to the DB, it will be removed from it's listing in the two "In Press" sections mentioned above.

Write access for the publications database will be given out to a few select individuals. If you do not currently have write access to the publications database, please send the following information to John Melonakos at (jmelonak at ece.gatech.edu), for "In Print" publications only: 1) the final printed version of the PDF, 2) the bibtex entry for the publication, 3) the NA-MIC Project URLs against which this publication should be linked, and 4) any other files that you would like to add to the publication database for this publication.
