Simulation of Blast and Behind-Armor Blunt Trauma to Life-Critical Organs in the Human Body [Poster]
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a high-fidelity virtual model of the human head, neck, and torso to investigate the details of life-threatening injury to the central nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems as a result of blast exposure and behind-armor blunt trauma. This model set is comprised of separate head-neck and torso models that can be used independently or combined to investigate comprehensive injury to life-critical organs as a result of blast, blunt impact, and/or projectile penetration. The Sandia head-neck-torso model represents a 60th percentile human male from the waist up possessing anatomically correct distributions of bone, white and gray brain matter, falx & tentorium membranes, spinal cord, intervertebral disks, cartilage, vasculature, blood, airways, lungs, heart, liver, stomach, kidneys, spleen, muscle, and fat/skin.
