Surgical simulation is a promising technology for training medical students and planning procedures. One major requirement for these simulation systems is a method to generate real...
The goals of this work were to (i) establish a method for building subject-specific biomechanical models from medical image data, (ii) construct a subject-specific model of the elb...

This paper introduces a new Light Aspiration device for in vivo Soft TIssue Characterization (LASTIC). This device is designed to be used during surgery, and can undergo sterilizat...
Abstract. A needle-tissue interaction model is an essential part of every needle insertion simulator. In this paper, a new experimental method for the modeling of needle-tissue int...
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. O...
