This project aims at developing accurate, real-time, patient-specific biomechanical models for organs.
These deformable models will be based on optimal choice of material constitutive laws, patient-specific surface and volumetric anatomy meshes, and advanced computational strategies.
The result of this work will be integrated with various projects in the fields of interventional radiology and laparoscopic surgery: training, patient-specific planning, computer-assisted surgery…
The models are initially developed for the porcine liver and kidney; knowledge and methodology are then adapted to match patient-specific geometrical and biomechanical data for humans.
