Osteoarthritis of the shoulder is frequently associated with posterior glenoid wear, which may
be difficult to correct during shoulder arthroplasty. This study was designed to evaluate the …

Background Statistical shape models are widely used in biomedical research. They are
routinely implemented for automatic image segmentation or object identification in medical …

Objective. The objective of the present study was to develop a numerical model of the shoulder
able to quantify the influence of the shape of the humeral head on the stress distribution …

Image-based modeling of tumor growth combines methods from cancer simulation and
medical imaging. In this context, we present a novel approach to adapt a healthy brain atlas to …

The optical characteristics of the human cornea depends on the mechanical balance between
the intra-ocular pressure and intrinsic tissue stiffness. A wide range of ophthalmic surgical …

Statistical shape analysis techniques have shown to be efficient tools to build population
specific models of anatomical variability. Their use is commonplace as prior models for …

Glenohumeral conformity has been reported to be one of the most critical implant-related
features that may affect the occurrence of glenoid loosening. This study evaluated the …

Numerical simulations of eye globes often rely on topographies that have been measured in
vivo using devices such as the Pentacam or OCT. The topographies, which represent the …

BACKGROUND: Although shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for osteoarthritis,
loosening of the glenoid component, which mainly occurs at the bone–cement interface, …

Fecal incontinence describes the involuntary loss of bowel content, which is responsible for
stigmatization and social exclusion. It affects about 45% of retirement home residents and …
