“…This study addresses the challenge of generating subject-specific head injury models with hexahedrons, especially concerns about mesh morphing, which is an efficient approach for generating subject-specific models. The approach has been used in many biomechanics fields on different organs ( Couteau et al, 2000 ; Castellano-Smith et al, 2001 ; Fernandez et al, 2004 ; Sigal et al, 2008 ; Bucki et al, 2010 ; Bijar et al, 2016 ; Park et al, 2017 ), full-body models ( Davis et al, 2016 ; Beillas and Berthet, 2017 ; Liu et al, 2020 ), as well as for detailed ( Giudice et al, 2020 ; Giudice et al, 2021 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Montanino et al, 2021 ) and simplified brain models ( Hu et al, 2007 ; Ji et al, 2011 ; Ji et al, 2015b ; Wu et al, 2019 ). A typical procedure involves image registration (rigid or affine and followed by nonlinear registrations), from which a displacement field representing the geometrical difference between the subject and baseline model is obtained.…”
