Fractal Analysis and FEM Assessment of Soft Tissue Affected by Fibrosis

This research shows an image processing method to determine the liver tissue’s mechanical behavior under physiological damage caused by fibrosis pathology. The proposed consists of using a tissue CAD/CAE model obtained from tomography human abdomen, where diaphragmatic surface this is compressed moving flat surface. For work, two tools were created—the first analyze deformations and second displacements tissue. Gibbon MATLAB® used for numerical analysis with FEBio computer program. Although deformation in scenario can be treated as orthogonal coordinate system, relationship between total change height (measured) was obtained. outcomes show hyperelastic model; Mooney–Rivlin mathematical characterization case. Another level fractal analysis. work Hausdorff dimension (HFD) calculate 2D topological
