Transient elastohydrodynamic lubrication in artificial knee joint with non-Newtonian fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the transient analysis of a human artificial knee joint under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) for point contact with non-Newtonian lubricants is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Updated neuroimaging using intraoperative brain modeling and sparse data.
Michael I. Miga,David W. Roberts,Alexander Hartov,Symma Eisner,John Lemery,Francis E. Kennedy,Keith D. Paulsen +6 more
TL;DR: A patient-specific three-dimensional finite element model of the brain is generated from preoperative MRI and used to simulate deformation resulting from multiple surgical processes to update preoperative imaging for image-guided surgery using readily available intraoperative information.
Book ChapterDOI
Model-Updated Image-Guided Neurosurgery: Preliminary Analysis Using Intraoperative MR
Michael I. Miga,Andreas Staubert,Keith D. Paulsen,Keith D. Paulsen,Francis E. Kennedy,Volker M. Tronnier,David W. Roberts,Alex Hartov,Leah A. Platenik,Karen E. Lunn +9 more
TL;DR: Model predictions constrained by intraoperative surface data appear to be a promising avenue for correcting brain shift during surgery, however, additional clinical cases where volumetric intraoperative MR data is available are needed to improve the understanding of tissue mechanics during resection.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Modeling surgical loads to account for subsurface tissue deformation during stereotactic neurosurgery
Michael I. Miga,Keith D. Paulsen,Francis E. Kennedy,P. Jack Hoopes,Alex Hartov,David W. Roberts +5 more
TL;DR: A computational model of the brain based on porous media physics is developed and quantified subsurface deformation due to comparable surgical loads using an in vivo porcine model and the optimal pressure gradient is found to be within physiological limits but generally higher than literature values would suggest for a given level of imparted loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lubrication and Wear of Artificial Knee Joint Materials in a Rolling/Sliding Tribotester
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of lubrication on wear during testing of materials for artificial knee joints in a rolling/sliding tribotester built to simulate contact conditions in a total knee replacement was described.
