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...
In this paper we describe the development of an interactive virtual reality (VR) system that aims to realistically simulate specific paracentesis clinical procedures (particularly ...
