Use of a biomechanical tongue model to predict the impact of tongue surgery on speech production [PDF]
Dans Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Models and
Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications - MAVEBA'2007,
Firenze : Italie (2007), 2008 This paper presents predictions of the consequences of tongue surgery on speech production. For this purpose, a 3D finite element model of the tongue is used that represents this articulator as a deformable structure in which tongue muscles anatomy is realistically described.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...
