1. 3D Finite Element Modeling of Cervical Musculature and its Effect on Neck Injury Prevention
Abstract : Injuries to the head and neck are potentially the most severe injuries in humans, since they may damage the nervous system. In accidents, the cervical musculature stabilizes the neck in order to prevent injury to the spinal column and is also a potential site for acute muscle strain, resulting in neck pain. READ MORE

2. Understanding Boundary Conditions for Brain Injury Prediction : Finite Element Analysis of Vulnerable Road Users
Abstract : Vulnerable road users (VRUs) are overrepresented in the statistics on severe and deadly injuries in traffic accidents, most commonly involving the head. The finite element (FE) method presents the possibility to model complex interactions between the human body and vehicles in order to better understand the injury mechanisms. READ MORE

3. Prevention and prediction of head and neck injury in traffic accidents - using experimental and numerical methods
Abstract : Injuries to the head and neck system are potentially amongthe most serious injuries in humans, since they may damage thespinal cord. It is therefore important to develop safetysystems that can prevent injuries to the neuro- system, therebyreducing human suffering and costs to society. READ MORE

4. Occupant Neck Muscle Modelling in Rear-End Crashes
Abstract : The ultimate goal of the present research is to incorporate active and passive neck muscle effects in a female Finite Element (FE) Human Body Model (HBM). The application of interest is Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD), which can occur in a low-speed rear-end impact. READ MORE

5. Description and prediction of clinical radiosensitivity : emphasis on normal tissue reactions
Abstract : There is a range in the severity of normal tissue reactions observed when cancer patients receive radiotherapy (RT). The limits of dosage in RT have empirically been set by doses that have caused severe reactions in the most sensitive patients. The understanding of factors governing variations of radiosensitivity is therefore very important in RT. READ MORE
