BILIARY TRACT AND GALLBLADDER BIOMECHANICAL MODELLING WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL ELEMENTS (HB 2021) Hardcover

Gallstones and other biliary tract diseases are widespread, affecting over 20% of adults, and their complications, such as acute pancreatitis and obstructive jaundice, can be fatal. This groundbreaking book is the first to comprehensively address biliary tract and gallbladder modeling by integrating physiological and clinical insights within a biomechanical framework. It offers readers detailed procedures for biomechanically modeling these systems, drawing on physiological data, clinical observations, and experimental findings, with the results carefully interpreted for clinical diagnosis and the biomechanical origins of biliary diseases. This text serves as a valuable reference for undergraduate and postgraduate university students, professional researchers in applied mathematics, biomechanics, biomechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering, as well as for surgeons in related fields.
