Report on 1Y and 6M child models

This document is the deliverable D.2.3.2 of the CASPER project. It has been done in the framework of WP2 “Child human body modeling” task 2.3 “Develop specific human segments and whole body models per age”. This task aims to provide the meshing of the whole body models of the 1 year old child (1 Y.O.C.) and six months old child (6 M.O.C). This document is structured around two sections. The first part concerns head and neck finite element models development of a 6 M.O.C conducted by UdS as well as a 6 month old multi-body full body human model conducted by TNO. The new finite element head model simulates closely the main anatomical features: skull, sutures, fontanel, falx, tentorium, subarachnoid space, scalp, cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. The neck model integrates the first thoracic vertebra, the seven cervical vertebrae, intervertebral discs and the upper and lower ligamentary system. For the 6 month old multi-body full body human model, as base model for the baby model, the TNO’s facet 50th percentile human occupant model was used and scaled down towards baby dimensions using the MADYMO/Scaler. The baby model geometry was based on CANDAT database geometry The second part of this document aims to present detailed 1 Y.O.C. FEM including a detailed headneck model provided by UdS and the whole skeleton and the ligaments and flesh attached to them of the other parts developed by CHALMERS. The starting point of the 1 Y.O.C. model is the DICOM data provided by LMU. The data comes from a 11months 21 days old child with a height of 78cm and weight of 9.6kg.
