Biomechanical Modelling of the Wrist for Patient Adapted Model Guided Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
From a mechanical point of view, the wrist represents the most complex joint in the body, providing a large range of motion in the flexion-extension (FE) and radial-ulnar-deviation (RUD) planes. Anatomically, the wrist could be divided into two carpal rows. Deeper insight into wrist biomechanics is highly desirable, because the complex wrist structure causes a variety of possible injuries and treatments [Gelberman 2000, Lichtman 1997]. Especially scapho-lunate-ligament (SLL) deficiency remains an unsolved problem in hand surgery [Lee 2014]. To understand and treat wrist injuries and degenerative changes, respectively, it is essential to understand the carpal biomechanics, including the function of the soft tissue.

A fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study
Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...

Image-guided prostate interventions often require the registration of preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images to real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images to provide high-quality guidance. One of the main challenges for registering MR images to TRUS images is how to estimate the TRUS-probe-induced prostate deformation that occurs during TRUS imaging. The combined statistical and biomec...

Background: Few reports represent palmar cutaneous nerve neuropathy in the wrist due to a ganglion cyst. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female was presented with a mass at volar side of the wrist and hypoesthesia at the base of thenar eminence. At ulrasonographic examination, a simple cyst was detected. Sensory response of palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve was absent at the affec...
متن کاملQuantification and modelling of the dosimetric impact of the treatment couch in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
Background: As the volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) becoming a main role of treatment ways, the effect of couch top becomes more significant. It is imperative to re-evaluate the couches that previously may have been considered of no importance during early treatment techniques. The impact of couch top on radiation delivery was explored and the couch model was tested with the aim of reduc...
