ECMS 2020, 34th ECMS International Conference on Modelling and Simulation, Wildau / Berlin, Germany June 2020

Webjørn Rekdalsbakken is assoc. professor and leader of the bachelor program in Electrical Engineering at NTNU, Norwegian University of Technology and Science, Aalesund Campus, Norway. He was the last rector at the former Møre og Romsdal Engineering College (1994), which is now included in NTNU. He was leader of education at Campus Aalesund in the years before and after the merger with NTNU in 2016. He also held the position of Chair of the ECMS2013 conference in Aalesund.

KJELL-INGE GJESDAL

CEO of Sunnmøre MRI Clinic, Norway

Kjell-Inge Gjesdal is the founder and CEO of Sunnmøre MRI Clinic. He holds positions as assoc. professor II at NTNU, Norwegian University of Technology and is a part time research scientist at Akershus University Hospital. He has a PhD in MRI physics from University of Aberdeen.

In medical imaging, digitalization has become the key aspect for future development. The realization of 3D organ models based on MRI, CT and ultrasound imaging is a growing research field. With the increasing amount of data from such medical examinations, and the improvement of the quality of the data, this creates unique possibilities to build realistic organ models. These models have the potential to very closely imitate both the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Therefore, such models could be used in the teaching of these disciplines, and not least in the planning and training of surgical interventions. In this project the goal is to establish digital twins of human joints, focusing on the knee and shoulder. The digitalization of medical imaging, and the digital acquisition of relevant medical data from many sources have opened up for the development of innovative and efficient tools constituting a new playground for surgeons and physicians. The access to real human physiological variables, combined with the increasingly advanced tools for designing and visualizing in 3D, opens the possibility of generating realistic digital 4D models of human joints. These 4D models will be designed as digital twins of its biological counterparts, including the functional positions, operational positions and dynamic variation of the 3D models. These models will be used in intelligent investigations of the joints, and in surgical interventions on the joints.
