Biomechanics of the Female Reproductive System: Breast and Pelvic Organs: From Models to Patients synthesizes complementary advances in women''s reproductive biomechanics, medical imaging analysis, patient-specific characterization, and computational finite element models. The book discusses the biomechanical aspects related to the breast and female pelvic floor system at each step of development. The table of contents also covers certain events and diseases, including cancers, delivery, aging, breast, hysterectomy or prolapse surgery. It presents the main biomechanical experimental results obtained and models developed this last decade to highlight the importance of accounting for patient-specific history and aging characteristics to consider damage growth effect and impact.As part of Elsevier''s Biomechanics of Living Organs series, this book provides an opportunity for students, researchers, clinicians and engineers to study the main topics related to the biomechanics of the women''s reproductive system in a single book written by a global base of experts.- Introduces fundamental aspects of breast and pelvic floor Anatomy, Physiology and Physiopathology- Covers the most recent imaging techniques (such as image analysis reconstruction, elastography, tagged MRI, nondestructive inverse methods) developed to characterize patient-specific anatomy and mechanical properties characteristics- Discusses the main computational studies performed this last decade for modeling the delivery process and potential induced injury

Mathematical modelling and computer simulation have proved tremendously successful in engineering. One of the greatest challenges for mechanists is to extend the success of computational mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering, in particular to biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine. The proposed workshop will provide an opportunity for computational biomechanics specialists to present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying their techniques to computer-integrated medicine. For example, continuum mechanics models provide a rational basis for analysing biomedical images by constraining the solution to biologically reasonable motions and processes. Biomechanical modelling can also provide clinically important information about the physical status of the underlying biology, integrating information across molecular, tissue, organ, and organism scales. The main goal of this workshop is to showcase the clinical and scientific utility of computational biomechanics in computer-integrated medicine.

This book presents contributions from the MICCAI 2024 Computational Biomechanics for Medicine Workshop CBM XIX. The peer-reviewed chapters of the book were presented during the 27th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention MICCAI  held in Marrakesh, Morocco. The content focuses on applications of computational biomechanics to computer-integrated medicine, which includes medical image computing, application of machine learning in image analysis and biomechanics, new approaches to stress computing for biomechanics of soft tissues and evaluation of strain, new assumptions to computing pipelines for disease and injury mechanisms, novel algorithms of computational biomechanics, a unique application of artificial intelligence and neural network in computing and experimental methods for the analysis of disease and injury mechanisms. This book details the state-of-the-art and progress in above mentioned scientific fields for researchers, students, and professionals.
