Biomedical Technology

The book "Biomedical Technology" provides a comprehensive overview of new mathematical models, computer-based simulations, and experimental tests in the field of biomedical technology. It addresses a variety of current research questions and challenges. The first part of the book focuses on the virtual environment for investigating biological systems at different scales and under multiphysical conditions. The second part is dedicated to modeling and computational approaches in cardiovascular medicine, including the simulation of turbulence in cardiovascular flow and the modeling of artificial, textile-reinforced heart valves. The final sections of the book deal with experimental observations, numerical tests, and multiscale modeling approaches in dentistry, orthopedics, and otology. Written by leading experts, the book reflects the remarkable advances made in the last ten years in the fields of medicine, life sciences, engineering, and computational mechanics.
