SlicerCBM: Framework for seamless solution of partial differential equations and their visualisation on medical images

Scientific computations usually involve solving models mathematically described by boundary value problems of partial differential equations (PDEs). In the context of brain diseases, the most common models are of biomechanics, for computing soft tissue deformations for neuronavigation, and electrostatics, for analysing the electric field propagation within the brain for localisation of epileptic seizure onset zone. I created a framework, SlicerCBM (Computational Biophysics for Medicine in 3DSlicer), to automatically generate biomechanical and bioelectric computational brain models, and to solve the underlying differential equations of continuum mechanics and electricity respectively. Moreover, to facilitate worldwide application by the research and clinical communities.
