We present a software solution for planning and simulating radio-frequency ablation (RFA) treatment for patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma. Our software provides the graphical front-end for the results of the EU FP7 project IMPPACT. The main planning application was designed to assist with the identification of minimum-risk setups for RFA probes and generation of evaluable 3D repr...

• Cochlear implantation (CI) is a treatment for patient suffering from severe to profound hearing loss. • A surgical planning software, OtoPlan, has been developed at the University of Bern for minimally invasive drilling of a cochlear access. • One of the constraints of the surgical planning during trajectory definition is to avoid the facial nerve with sufficient safety margin. • Cone-beam co...

Very little research has been done on strategic financial planning software programming. Today's approach is to perform a single simulation, calculation, or utility application and assume the results apply all times allocations for future ages. But time periods change with age as do allocation characteristics over time. This paper steps back look at programming foundational strategy model retir...

background: the artificial neural networks (anns) are useful in solving nonlinear processes, without the need for mathematical models of the parameters. since the relationship between the ct numbers and material compositions is not linear, ann can be used for obtaining tissue density and composition. objective: the aim of this study is to utilize ann for determination of the composition and mas...

Aggregate production planning (APP) determines the optimal production plan for the medium term planning horizon. The purpose of the APP is effective utilization of existing capacities through facing the fluctuations in demand. Recently, fuzzy approaches have been applied for APP focusing on vague nature of cost parameters. Considering the importance of coping with customer demand in different p...

Introduction: The aim of this paper is to describe a case of rehabilitation of trauma induced mandibular defect, reconstructed by distraction osteogenesis, and followed by the precise placement of implants aided with digital planning software. Case Report: In the following case report, a 56-year-old male patient with mandibular segmental defect, was treated with distraction osteogenesis followe...
