Toward Real-Time, Physically-Correct Soft Tissue Behavior Simulation

We present a behavior simulation algorithm that has the potential of enabling physically-correct, photo-realistic, and real-time behavior simulation for soft tissues and organs. Our approach combines a physically-correct formulation based on boundary element methods with an efficient numeric solver. This approach can have a significant impact in off-line surgical training and simulation, and in on-line computer-assisted surgery.
