Abstract: In biomedical sciences, the difficulty in defining the systems of complex living organisms by analogies is that they are built with nested systems that interact with each other. When the dynamic state of the biosystem is simplified and the tools we use to formulate theories are defined by analogies of the mathematical models, these equations are achieved by appropriate discretization. Thus, quantitative results and visualization obtained from a numerical approach can provide detailed biomechanical explanations about pathophysiology.

With the methodology we developed, we evaluated the actual clinical cases in a computerized environment with an in silico surgery planning methodology to evaluate the patient-specific biomechanical frame in surgical operations performed on complex morphologies.

The results obtained by medical image-based three-dimensional modeling and numerical analysis have provided information that could contribute to routine hospital procedures and surgery planning. It is predicted that it can also make significant contributions to surgical training and novel customized medical device developments.
