Medical Modeling Report Available

Research and Markets, Dublin, Ireland, has announced the addition of a report, "Medical Modelling: The Application of Advanced Design and Development Techniques in Medicine" to its market and research data offerings.

"This report is a comprehensive review of design and development technologies in medicine," the company said. "It is designed to be accessible to all disciplines, with medical and technical terms explained as clearly and simply as possible. It includes a series of case studies and is written by a leading expert in the field.

"Research into medical modeling and the application of design and product development technologies in medicine and surgery requires a multidisciplinary approach and 'Medical modeling' provides a genuinely useful text to help the broadest possible range of professionals to understand not only the technologies, techniques, and methods, but also what is required to apply them in medical treatments," the company added.

Medical modeling describes steps in the process from acquisition of medical scan data, transfer and translation of data formats, methods of utilizing the data, and finally, using the information to produce physical models using rapid prototyping techniques and in surgery or prosthetic rehabilitation. Technologies are fully described in the report, highlighting their key characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, according to the company. A series of case studies illustrates a broad range of medical applications. These case studies are taken from the collective experience of the National Centre for Product Design & Development Research, Medical Applications Group and their clinical partners, and have been chosen to reflect the widest possible variety of techniques used. Future developments in technology and applications in this dynamic and fast-moving field are also considered.

"This book will appeal to the wide variety of professionals who undertake collaborative research, development and treatment of human physical conditions using advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques and technologies, including medical and clinical engineers and physicists, clinical technologists, rehabilitation engineers, design engineers in medical device design and manufacture, consultant surgeons and specialists in, for example, orthopedics, orthodontics, and prosthetics," the company said.

Author Richard Bibb BSc (Hons), PhD, is reader and head of Medical Applications at The National Centre for Product Design & Development Research (PDR), University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC), UK. He has been conducting research into the medical applications of advanced design and development technologies since 1998; his work has been presented and published internationally. He also established one of Europe's most successful medical modeling services, which has supplied over 600 models to hospitals, universities, museums and companies worldwide, Research and Markets noted.
