Deviating multivariate observations are used typically to test the performance of outlier detection methods. Yet, generation outlying cases itself usually appears as a secondary methodological step in methods comparison. In literature, outliers defined using certain distribution parameters which differ from those clean or reference data. However, these change among authors, leading lack standar...

Hemodynamic simulation is becoming an important tool for the understanding of endovascular diseases. The goal of this PhD dissertation is to provide a parallel, fast, and robust numerical solver of blood flow dynamic that interfaces easily with medical imaging. One of the necessary components of this project is to guarantee reliability, performance and portability of the blood flow simulation c...

AIMS OF THE STUDY Laparoscopic simulation has transformed skills acquisition for many procedures. However, realistic nonbiological simulators for complex reconstructive surgery are rare. Life-like tactile feedback is particularly difficult to reproduce. Technological innovations may contribute novel solutions to these shortages. We describe a hybrid model, harnessing 3D technology to simulate l...
