What is it about?
This work describes a novel technique for the creation of accurate computer models of complex structures, which also allows them to be adapted to a variety of different modelling needs. The process is applied to a model of the head, developed in conjunction with the US Naval Research Laboratory, Simpleware Ltd, and the University of Exeter.

Why is it important?
The work illustrates the rich potential of image-based meshing techniques, which allow accurate computational models of physical systems to be obtained directly from three-dimensional image data (e.g. CT, MRI, ultrasound), and in particular, the innovate use of a combined image and CAD based model generation approach.
