Automated modeling of brain bioelectric activity within the 3D Slicer environment
Saima Safdar, Benjamin Zwick, George Bourantas +5
Electrocorticography (ECoG) or intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) monitors electric potential directly on the surface of the brain and can be used to inform treatment plann…
Patient-specific solution of the electrocorticography forward problem in deforming brain
Benjamin F. Zwick, George C. Bourantas, Saima Safdar +5
Invasive intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) or electrocorticography (ECoG) measures electric potential directly on the surface of the brain and can be used to inform treatm…
Simple and robust element-free Galerkin method with interpolating shape functions for finite deformation elasticity
George Bourantas, Benjamin F. Zwick, Grand Joldes +2
In this paper, we present a meshless method belonging to the family of element-free Galerkin (EFG) methods. The distinguishing feature of the presented meshless method is that it a…
Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation of Needle Insertion into Soft Tissue
Adam Wittek, George Bourantas, Benjamin F. Zwick +3
In this study we present a kinematic approach to modeling needle insertion into soft tissues. The kinematic approach allows the presentation of the problem as Dirichlet-type (i.e.…
An explicit meshless point collocation solver for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
George C. Bourantas, Benjiamin F. Zwick, Grand R. Joldes +4
We present a strong form, meshless point collocation explicit solver for the numerical solution of the transient, incompressible, viscous Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations in two dimen…
Cell-based Maximum Entropy Approximants for Three Dimensional Domains: Application in Large Strain Elastodynamics using the Meshless Total Lagrangian Explicit Dynamics Method
Konstantinos A. Mountris, George C. Bourantas, Daniel Millán +4
We present the Cell-based Maximum Entropy (CME) approximants in E3 space by constructing the smooth approximation distance function to polyhedral surfaces. CME is a meshfree approx…
Wall Stress Distributions in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Do Not Correlate With Symptoms
Karol Miller, Hozan Mufty, Alastair Catlin +8
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent and irreversible dilation of the lower region of the aorta. It is typically an asymptomatic condition that if left untreated can expa…
Biomechanical modeling and computer simulation of the brain during neurosurgery
K. Miller, G. R. Joldes, G. Bourantas +4
Computational biomechanics of the brain for neurosurgery is an emerging area of research recently gaining in importance and practical applications. This review paper presents the c…
Suite of Meshless Algorithms for Accurate Computation of Soft Tissue Deformation for Surgical Simulation
Grand Joldes, George Bourantas, Benjamin Zwick +7
The ability to predict patient-specific soft tissue deformations is key for computer-integrated surgery systems and the core enabling technology for a new era of personalized medic…
