2. Biomechanical modeling of living soft tissues and GMCAO
2.1 Building patient-specific models in a clinical setting
2.1.1 Three-dimensional reconstruction of patient geometry
Whether the anatomical structure being modeled is rigid or deformable, the first step is to reconstruct its overall static geometry. This step is typically carried out using medical imaging techniques (scanner, MRI and ultrasound, for example). These examinations, used individually or in combination, enable the user to locate points on the structure's periphery or directly in specific anatomical...
