: The biomechanical properties of soft tissue derived from experimental measurements are critical for developing a reality-based model for minimally invasive surgical training and ...
In this paper, we present a novel deformable model for soft tissue simulation in a real-time manner. The innovative model consists of two submodels: the surface one and the interna...
— We explore motion planning for a new class of highly flexible bevel-tip medical needles that can be steered to previously unreachable targets in soft tissue. Planning for thes...
