Vascular Contact With Soft Tissue

Biomaterials in contact with soft tissue and blood

The permanently growing demand for smart and effective implants comes from surgeons and on the other hand from the patients. Therefore, the interest is focused on the development of biofunctionalized materials for surgical applications. For this implants it is necessary to have an excellent biocompatibility and a biocompatibility without any toxic degradation products. The biocompatibility is a...

Epithelioid Vascular Tumors of Bone and Soft Tissue

Endothelial cells distinguished by their epithelioid morphology have been recognized for many years. Rosai first characterized them as “histiocytoid” in appearance in 1979 and soon thereafter they became known by the more popularized term "epithelioid". By the early and mid 1980's this nomenclature was incorporated into classification schemes of epithelioid vascular tumors that included reactiv...

MR Imaging of Soft-Tissue Vascular Lesions: Pathologic Correlation

common causes of soft tissue masses. Because of the absence of unifying concepts and accurate definitions, significant confusion remains as to appropriate classification. The term “hemangioma”has been used as a generic word to describe a variety of vascular lesions, and in the past has been used to describe a combination of the hemangioma of infancy and venous malformation with confusing radiol...

Skin and Soft Tissue Injuries in Congenital Vascular Malformations

Soft Articulated Characters with Fast Contact Handling

Fast contact handling of soft articulated characters is a computationally challenging problem, in part due to complex interplay between skeletal and surface deformation. We present a fast, novel algorithm based on a layered representation for articulated bodies that enables physically-plausible simulation of animated characters with a high-resolution deformable skin in real time. Our algorithm ...
