Preface

This book presents recent advances in the domain of the 3D Physiological Human

that have been presented last December in the Workshop on 3D Physiological

Human 2008. This workshop was funded by the “Third Cycle in Computer Sci-

ence of Western Switzerland” named CUSO, the European project Focus K3D,

and the European Marie Curie project 3D Anatomical Human (3DAH).

3D Physiological Human research is a very active field supported by many sci-

entific projects. Many of them are funded by the European Union such as 3D Ana-

tomical Human project (FP6-MRTN-CT-2006) and those present in the seventh

framework program “Virtual Physiological Human” (FP7-ICT-2007-2). One of

the main objectives of the research on 3D Physiological Human is to create pa-

tient-specific computer models for personalized health care. These models are

used to simulate and hence better understand the human physiology and pathology.

A collection of scientific articles is proposed to highlight the necessity to ex-

change and disseminate novel ideas and techniques from a wide range of disci-

plines (computer graphics, biomechanics, knowledge representation, human–

machine interface, etc.) associated with medical imaging, medical simulation,

computer-assisted surgery, and 3D semantics. The emphasis is on technical nov-

elty along with current and future applications for modeling and simulating the

anatomical structures and functions of the human body.

The book is divided into three main parts: anatomical and physiological model-

ing, physically based simulation, and medical analysis and knowledge manage-

ment. We would like to thank the program committee members for their work on

reviewing papers.

We would also like to thank Jérôme Schmid and Caecilia Charbonnier from

MIRALab-University of Geneva to have finalized the documents for the

camera-ready edition of this book.
