Objective

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.

Approach, Plan

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.
