Most-cited papers in Medical Engineering & Physics

Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone

Jae‐Young Rho, Liisa T. Kuhn, Peter Zioupos · 1 Mar 1998

Detailed descriptions of the structural features of bone abound in the literature; however, the mechanical properties of bone, in particular those at the micro- and nano-structural level, remain poorly understood. This paper surveys the mechanical data that are available, with an emphasis on the relationship between the complex hierarchical structure of bone and its mechanical…

Relations of mechanical properties to density and CT numbers in human bone

J. Y. Rho, M.C. Hobatho, Richard Ashman · 1 Jul 1995

Mechanical properties of cortical and cancellous bone from eight human subjects were determined using an ultrasonic transmission technique. Raw computerized tomography (CT) values obtained from scans of the bones in water were corrected to Hounsfield units. The correlations between CT numbers and mechanical property estimated from cortical bone were found to be low (r2 <…

Measuring complexity using FuzzyEn, ApEn, and SampEn

Weiting Chen, Jun Zhuang, Wangxin Yu et al. · 5 Jun 2008

This paper compares three related measures of complexity, ApEn, SampEn, and FuzzyEn. Since vectors' similarity is defined on the basis of the hard and sensitive boundary of Heaviside function in ApEn and SampEn, the two families of statistics show high sensitivity to the parameter selection and may be invalid in case of small parameter. Importing…

<i>In vivo</i> measurements of the elastic mechanical properties of human skin by indentation tests

C. Pailler‐Mattei, Sandrine Bec, H. Zahouani · 14 Sep 2007

Knowledge about the human skin mechanical properties is essential in several domains, particularly for dermatology, cosmetic or to detect some cutaneous pathology. This study proposes a new method to determine the human skin mechanical properties in vivo using the indentation test. Usually, the skin mechanical parameters obtained with this method are influenced by the mechanical…

Needle insertion into soft tissue: A survey

Niki Abolhassani, Rajni V. Patel, Mehrdad Moallem · 28 Aug 2006

Needle insertion in soft tissue has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its application in minimally invasive percutaneous procedures such as biopsies and brachytherapy. This paper presents a survey of the current state of research on needle insertion in soft tissue. It examines the topic from several aspects, e.g. modeling needle insertion forces,…

Medical Engineering & Physics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Medical Engineering & Physics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Medical Engineering & Physics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Medical Engineering & Physics use?
Medical Engineering & Physics uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Medical Engineering & Physics 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Medical Engineering & Physics?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Medical Engineering & Physics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Medical Engineering & Physics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Medical Engineering & Physics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Medical Engineering & Physics?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Medical Engineering & Physics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Medical Engineering & Physics template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
