A Spatial-Stiffness Analysis of Fiducial Registration Accuracy
Abstract. We describe a new approach to predicting the maximum target registration error for fiducial registration. The approach is based on the analysis of a spatial stiffness mod...

Mesh Topology Identification for Mass-Spring Models
In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...

Polyrigid and Polyaffine Transformations: A New Class of Diffeomorphisms for Locally Rigid or Affine Registration
We introduce a novel family of geometrical transformations for the non-rigid registration of medical images, called polyrigid and polyaffine. These transformations have nice mathem...

Tensor Splats: Visualising Tensor Fields by Texture Mapped Volume Rendering
Abstract. We describe a new method for visualising tensor fields using a textured mapped volume rendering approach, tensor-splatting. We use an image order method to calculate the ...
