An Approach on Determining the Displacements of the Pelvic Floor during Volunta...

The present study was conducted in order to establish a methodology based on the finite element method to simulate the contraction of the pelvic floor (PF) muscles. In the generated finite element model, a downward pressure of 90 cm H2O was applied, while actively contracting the PF muscles with different degrees of muscular activation (10, 50 and 100%). The finite element methodology of the active contraction ...

3D reconstruction of pelvic floor for numerical simulation purpose

Female pelvic floor disorders (stress urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse) affect approximately 60% of woman over 60 years old [1]. The real geometry and architecture of female pelvic floor and connective tissues are complex and difficult to visualize from two-dimensional (2D) images. To facilitate the understanding of pelvic floor geometry, in this work 3D models were building. A 3D...

Segmentation and Simulation of the Deformation of Objects Represented in Images...

The goal of this work is to automatically extract the contour of an object and to simulate its deformation using a physical approach. In this work, to segment an object represented in an image, an initial contour is manually defined for it that will then automatically evolve until it equals the border of the desired object. In our approach, the contour is modelled by physical formulation, using the Finite Eleme...
