Biomechanics of peripheral vertigo: from numerical modeling and simulation of various diseases to patient specific surrogate - BioPeriVer

This project aims to consolidate and improve diverse (2D-slice and 3D) existing anatomical finite element models of the vestibule of the human inner ear in order to reproduce well known clinical tests, and thus confront simulation results to real world observations. Once validated, the objective is to use the renewed models to increase the knowledge of the physiology of various common pathologies such as endolymphatic hydrops and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, as well as Meniere disease. To this end, various biomechanical models and numerical simulations are explored to lead to more relevant and accurate diagnostic and therapeutic tools through a patient specific approach.
