BioMedical Device Design Optimization

Metered dose inhalers (MDIs) are widely used for the treatment of lung diseases, such as asthma. The delivery of the drug to the lung can be as low as 5% of the metered dose. In order to maximize the dose, a patient needs to inhale whilst simultaneously actuating the...

Investigation of cornea graft failure following DMEK surgery

One option for corneal transplants is DMEK (Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty). The procedure is outlined here. As described, once the replacement cornea is unrolled and positioned in the anterior chamber of the eye, SF6 or Air is injected below...

Processing CT and MRI Scans for Simulation

The objective of the study was to demonstrate the process of taking a Medical Scan (either CT or MRI) extracting physical parts of the scan (in this case the carotid arteries) and carry out a simulation with that geometry. ProcessUsing an open source tool...
