Surgical simulation is the coming training method for medical education. The main reasons for this are the reduced risk for the patients and the easy repeatability of complicated ...
Simulations for training and analysis incorporating haptic feedback are becoming more popular and the sophistication of these simulations is increasing. Many systems now allow a r...
Abstract. A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. The insertion model simulates three-degree-of-freedom needle motion, physically-based needle forces,...
Mass-spring systems are of special interest for soft tissue modeling in surgical simulation due to their ease of implementation and real-time behavior. However, the parameter ident...
