The Centre for Medical Engineering ( CMET ) at Hull has one of the world's leading groups ( SimVis - Director Roger Phillips) in applying imaging, visualization, modelling, simulation and virtual environments for training, diagnostics and surgery in medicine. CMET will bring in comprehensive state of the art visualization facilities and considerable experience in developing software for novel multidisciplinary applications of visualization and virtual environment technology. Other CMET partners are; the Medical Engineering group (Director - Michael Fagan) which brings expertise in bone mechanics and adaptation as well as access to excellent facilities for MicroCT imaging, mechanical testing and modelling of skeletal and other structures and Medical Physics (Director Christian Langton) which has expertise in bone structure, mineralisation and imaging. CMET collaborative research spans bone biology and adaptation, craniofacial development, cardiac and vascular modelling, prosthesis design and image guided therapies. |
