Numerical Methods of Modeling in Biomedical Applications

Modern medicine has enjoyed considerable success over the last fifty years, thanks to modern imaging techniques (magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, echography, etc.) and signal acquisition (electrocardiography, electroencephalography, electromyography, etc.). The result is faster diagnosis, more effective therapy and a more reliable prognosis. This approach is that of medicine that cures, sometimes to the detriment of medicine that cares for and prevents disease ("care", figure 1 ). It can also have perverse effects: the "tsunami" of biomedical data generated by this new type of investigation is costly in terms of time (compared to the bedside clinic),...
