Biomechanics of the Female Reproductive System: Breast and Pelvic Organs: From Model to Patient

Biomechanics of the Female Reproductive System: Breast and Pelvic  Organs: From Models to Patients synthesizes complementary advances in  women’s reproductive biomechanics, medical imaging analysis,  patient-specific characterization, and computational finite element  models. The book discusses the biomechanical aspects related to the  breast and female pelvic floor system at each step of development. The  table of contents also covers certain events and diseases, including  cancers, delivery, aging, breast, hysterectomy or prolapse surgery. It  presents the main biomechanical experimental results obtained and models  developed this last decade to highlight the importance of accounting  for patient-specific history and aging characteristics to consider  damage growth effect and impact.

As part of Elsevier’s  Biomechanics of Living Organs series, this book provides an opportunity  for students, researchers, clinicians and engineers to study the main  topics related to the biomechanics of the women’s reproductive system in  a single book written by a global base of experts.
