Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Biomechanical Modelling with Physiological and Clinical Elements

The book "Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Modeling: Physiological and Clinical Insights" is the first to systematically treat biliary tract and gallbladder modeling with physiological and clinical information in a biomechanical context. It provides detailed biomechanical modelling procedures for the biliary tract and gallbladder, with results interpreted in terms of clinical diagnosis and biomechanical mechanisms for biliary diseases. It is a valuable resource for university undergraduates, postgraduates, and professional researchers in applied mathematics, biomechanics, biomechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering, as well as related surgeons.

Biliary tract diseases, including gallstones, pose a significant health concern for a substantial portion of the adult population, affecting approximately 20% of individuals. The complications associated with gallstones, such as acute pancreatitis and obstructive jaundice, can be life-threatening. This groundbreaking book is the first to comprehensively address biliary tract and gallbladder modeling within a biomechanical framework. It offers readers a detailed and systematic approach to biomechanical modeling of the biliary tract and gallbladder, drawing upon physiological data, clinical observations, and experimental evidence. The results are carefully interpreted in terms of clinical diagnosis and are linked to biomechanical mechanisms underlying biliary diseases. This text serves as a valuable resource for university undergraduates, postgraduates, and professional researchers in applied mathematics, biomechanics, biomechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering, as well as related surgeons. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the biomechanics of the biliary tract and gallbladder, aiding in the development of new diagnostic tools, treatment strategies, and surgical interventions. By bridging the gap between physiology and engineering, this book contributes to advancing our knowledge of biliary diseases and improving patient care.
