Journal ArticleDOI
A meshless Total Lagrangian explicit dynamics algorithm for surgical simulation
TL;DR: In this article, a method for computing deformation of very soft tissue is presented, which is based on the Fully Geometrically Nonlinear Total Lagrangian (FLTL) formulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling brain deformations for computer-integrated neurosurgery
TL;DR: In this article, the Intelligent Systems for Medicine Laboratory's contributions to mathematical and numerical modelling of brain deformation behavior for neurosurgical simulation and brain image registration are discussed, and the use of fully non-linear theory of continuum mechanics is advocated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work focused on the insertion phase preceding puncture of the brain meninges and obtained a very accurate prediction of the needle force, demonstrating the utility of non-linear finite element procedures in patient-specific modelling of needle insertion into soft organs such as, e.g. brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond finite elements: A comprehensive, patient-specific neurosurgical simulation utilizing a meshless method
TL;DR: This paper showcases the Meshless Total Lagrangian Explicit Dynamics Method (MTLED), and uses it for computing brain deformations during surgery and demonstrates the method's ability to fulfill all of the important requirements for surgical simulation.
Book ChapterDOI
Subject-specific biomechanical simulation of brain indentation using a meshless method
TL;DR: A meshless method for simulating soft organ deformation that is meshless in the sense that deformation is calculated at nodes that are not part of an element mesh, using the central difference method.
