Scientists from the BME Department of the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics took part in the 54th Annual Conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering.
This year the event takes place in Leipzig in a remote form. At the opening of the event, German Minister of Health Jens Spahn greeted the conference participants.
Thanks to many years of cooperation with colleagues from the Institute of Multiphase Processes of the University named after V. Leibniz (Hannover) and the significant results of the scientific group of Professor Oleg Avrunin consisting of Maxim Tymkovich and Yana Nosova, co-authored with Professor Birgit Glasmacher and Dr. Alexander Gishkov, took part in the Conference within the section “Personalized Medicine” with the report “Analysis of air resistance of the nasal cavity according to computed tomography”. The work is performed within the framework of a joint Ukrainian-German research project “Implementation of rapid prototyping for modeling the upper respiratory tract in normal and typical pathologies”.
Employees of the BME department also took part in a master class organized by the National Research Institute for Informatics and Automatic Control in Chile.
Master class topic was “SOFA: an open-source solution for collaborations, prototyping, and innovation in simulation”. As part of the master class, Hugo Talbot (SOFA project coordinator) talked about the features of medical simulation using the SOFA framework, the possibility of implementing topological changes in 3D structures, simulation of anisotropic materials and much more. The direction in the field of surgical simulation of interaction with biological tissues in surgical planning of surgical interventions is developing very rapidly, and the experience gained will be used in the modernization of curricula in the specialty “Biomedical Engineering”.
