We present a framework for the interactive simulation of surgical cuts such as being practiced in surgical treatment. Unlike most existing methods our framework is based on tetrah...
When maxillofacial surgery is proposed as a treatment for a patient, the type of osteotomy and its influence on the facial contour is of major interest. To design the optimal surg...

One of the essential components of a virtual reality surgical simulation is deformation. Deformations in computer graphics and surgical simulations are commonly modeled with three...

Abstract. We introduce a new, efficient approach for modelling the deformation of organs following surgical cuts, retractions, and resections. It uses the extended finite element ...

— 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...
