The modeling of soft tissue behavior is essential in haptic rendering for virtual reality based medical simulators, which provide a safe and objective medium for training medical ...
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...
We describe the use of compact support radial basis functions (CSRBFs) for simulation of soft tissue deformation. CSRBFs allow surface and volumetric deformations to be computed i...

The well known property of haptic interaction is the high refresh rate of the haptic loop that is necessary for the stability of the interaction. Therefore, only simple computation...
— 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...
