Abstract. A system for interactive, 3–D, craniofacial surgery simulation is presented. It is used for the 3–D simulation of osteotomies of the facial and skull bones and for th...
A central element of surgical simulators is the generation of appropriate haptic feedback. Several factors influence this rendering process, which could potentially degrade the f...
Accurately describing interactions between medical devices and anatomical structures, or between anatomical structures themselves, is an essential step towards the adoption of comp...
: Biomechanical model of soft tissue for remote probing based on observed experimental data is critical for developing a reality-based model for minimally invasive surgical trainin...
In this paper, we propose solutions to real time simulation and interaction of deformable objects in virtual reality. Firstly, we present LEM - Long Element Method, a method creat...
