This is the third volume in the WIT Press series Advances in Computational Bioengineering (ISSN 1465-3222). It is a text that will interest any cybernetician involved with computer modelling, but particularly the biocybernetician working in this specialised area. Designed for use in both academic and research environments, this new WIT Press title addresses applications of computer modelling and fluid dynamics to cardiovascular and ocular systems. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the important roles that mathematical theory and computer technology can play in the medical arena, and general scientific concepts are integrated with specific technical issues throughout.
An introduction to actual problems encountered by investigators, Medical Applications of Computer Modelling: Cardiovascular and Ocular Systems is designed to inspire further medical research combining mathematics, physics and engineering with computer technology.
