Abstract Background In prostate cancer (PCa) surgical procedures, in order to maximize
potency recovery, a nerve-sparing (NS) procedure is preferred. However, cancer abutting or …

Biomechanical modeling of the facial soft tissue behavior is needed in aesthetic or maxillo-
facial surgeries where the simulation of the bone displacements cannot accurately predict …

Ischial pressure ulcer is an important risk for every paraplegic person and a major public
health issue. Pressure ulcers appear following excessive compression of buttock's soft …

Some soft tissues of the human body and biomaterials are considered as multi-layer
structures with layer-specific material properties. Identification of the material parameters of …

This paper introduces the recently developed TexiCare device that aims at preventing
pressure ulcers for people with spinal cord injury. This embedded device is aimed to be …

Tongue cancer treatment often results in impaired speech, swallowing, or mastication.
Simulating the effect of treatments can help the patient and the treating physician to …

In recent years a number of robotic steering systems have been proposed that are geared
towards improving interventional radiology procedures such as tumor ablation and biopsy …

The tissue scale is an important spatial scale for modeling the human body. Tissue-scale
biomechanical simulations can be used to estimate the internal muscle stresses and bone …

Simulating the deformations of soft tissues has gained importance in recent years due to the
development of 3D patient-specific biomechanical models in the context of Computer …

In-vivo characterization of soft tissues is a key step toward biomechanical simulation and
planning of intra-operative assisted surgery. To achieve this, aspiration method is a standard …
