One of the greatest challenges for mechanists is to extend the success of computational
mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering in particular to biology biomedical
sciences and medicine. The proposed workshop will provide an opportunity for computational
biomechanics specialists to present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying
their techniques to computer-integrated medicine. These are peer-reviewed proceedings of the
workshop affiliated to a major international research conference (Medical Image Computing and
Computer Assisted Intervention MICCAI 2010 in Beijing) dedicated to research in the field of
medical image computing and computer assisted medical interventions. The list of subjects
covered include: medical image analysis image-guided surgery surgical simulation surgical
intervention planning disease prognosis and diagnostics injury mechanism analysis implant
and prostheses design medical robotics.
