Impacts, traumas and strokes are spontaneously life-threatening, but chronic symptoms
strangle patient every day. Colorectal tissue mechanics in such chronic situations not only …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a disorder characterised by complete or partial occlusion
of the upper airway during sleep. Muscles relax during sleeping and collapse into the …

This paper presents a new method for colon tissues segmentation on Computed
Tomography images which takes advantages of using deep and hierarchical learning about …

Endoscopic medical devices enable minimally invasive visual screening and medical
interventions in the human body. The development of such devices typically requires …

Virtual reality (VR) applications for surgical planning and mentoring are currently becoming
more widespread. Within these fields of applications, haptic systems are crucial to help the …

The research reported in this paper applies an explicit non-linear FEA solver to simulate the
interaction between a clamp and a hyper-elastic material that aims to mimic the biological …

Abstract Numerical simulations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) have currently increased
their applications in medical field for making preoperative plans to simulate the response of …

Several functions of the large intestine depend on its morphology and biomechanical
properties. Since some classes of soft tissues have non-linear mechanical behavior, they …

Mechanical properties of the soft tissues and an accurate mathematical model are important
to reproduce the soft tissue's material behavior (mechanical behavior) in a virtual simulation …

Modeling can allow us to realize the functionality of a living organ and analyze the influence
of various factors on it. In particular, modeling the movement of fecal masses through the …
