Models that predict the soft tissue deformation caused by needle insertion could improve the accuracy of procedures such as brachytherapy and needle biopsy. Prior work on needle in...

We present a method for animating deformable objects using a novel finite element discretization on convex polyhedra. Our finite element approach draws upon recently introduced ...
In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...
This paper describes the prototype of a facial expression editor. In contrast to existing systems the presented editor takes advantage of both medical data for the simulation and ...
The generation of multimodal virtual environments for surgical training is complicated by the necessity to develop heterogeneous simulation scenarios such as surgical incision, ca...
