Main description:

Advances in medical and biological technology, the result of collaboration between engineers and medical scientists, are transforming medical care and treatment. Particularly important are developments in computer models and better numerical algorithms, as well as the ability to acquire, analyse, manage and visualise massive amounts of data. In order to facilitate the sharing of information on these advances, the Wessex Institute of Technology organises a biennial conference. This book contains the papers from the latest conference in the series, which began in 1991. The papers cover Cardiovascular system; Biomechanics; Simulation of physiological processes; Computational fluid dynamics in biomedicine; Orthopaedics and bone mechanics; Data acquisition and analysis; Virtual reality in medicine; System biology; Diagnostic tools and therapy; and Bioelectromagnetics.
