IS013 - Coupled Problems in Hard Tissue Biomechanics
Keywords: AI, Bone, Clinical Applications, CT, PFM
The newly introduced Phase Field Model (PFM) for failure initiation and the increasing amount of digital personalized data, particularly CT visualization, holds great promises when combined with computational hard-tissue biomechanics for diagnosis and treatment at the patient level. Computational mechanics (CM) combined with PFM or based on the available digital data allows for providing patient-specific information which may be directly translated to clinical applications. This information, when fused with artificial intelligence has the potential to be used very successfully in clinical practice.
This mini-symposium is devoted to recent developments in CM of hard tissues when combined with PFMs or with CT scans, with a focus on human bones. Presentations that combine CM methods based on CT with PFMs or/and artificial intelligence algorithms are encouraged.
Also, personalized treatment strategies that are guided by clinical needs and implemented into clinical practice are of particular interest.
