Human Cranial Simulation

Being the traumatic brain injury (TBI) a devastating cause of death, it grows day after day on a worldwide basis. So, the effort to prevent, detect and understand it must be pushed forward. In order to improve the technics applied today and achieve a much stronger effort, biomechanical and clinical theories need to be joined, leading to better technical approaches of the problem and to an improved understanding of it. In the light of this acknowledgement, it is proposed the development of a virtual platform using the BioCAD protocol, computer aided design software (CAD) and finite element method (FEM) analysis software. The computational model to achieve has to be adapted to the needs of the user and/or patient and will result in an innovative tool most needed to an improved development of the research and prevention of TBI. As a consequence this area will be pushed to a new level of understanding.
