We present a new approach for realistic visio-haptic simulation of nonlinear and viscoelastic behavior of an organ tissue using a particle model. The spring and damper coefficients...
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...
Simplified soft tissue models used in surgical simulations cannot perfectly reproduce all material behaviors. In particular, many tissues exhibit the Poynting effect, which resul...
— 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...

This paper describes a method for creating object surfaces from binary-segmented data that are free from aliasing and terracing artifacts. In this method, a net of linked surface n...
