Given the critical role of liver mechanics in regulating cell response and directing the
development of tissue fibrosis, accurately characterising its mechanical behaviour is of …

Understanding and modeling liver biomechanics represents a significant challenge due to
its complex nature. In this paper, we tackle this issue in the context of real-time surgery …

The mechanical behavior of human liver has been characterized with aspiration
experiments. Measurements have been performed in vivo under sterile conditions during …

The lack of experimental data in current literature on material properties of soft tissues in
living condition has been a significant obstacle in the development of realistic soft tissue …

Abdominal organs are the most vulnerable body parts during vehicle trauma, leading to high
mortality rate due to acute injuries of liver, kidney, spleen and other abdominal organs …

Realistic surgical simulation requires incorporation of the mechanical properties of soft
tissue in mathematical models. In actual deformation of soft-tissue during surgical …

Soft tissue characterization with the inverse finite element method (FEM) optimization
algorithm plays an important role in develo** a physical model for medical simulations …

Accidentology data showed that liver is often injured in car crashes; three types of injuries
occur: hematoma, laceration and vessel failure. This paper focuses on surface laceration …

OBJECTIVES: To measure the mechanical property of prostatic tissues using a minimally
motorized indenter and to determine whether measurable differences in mechanical …

The availability of a real-time non-destructive modality to interrogate the mechanical
properties of viscoelastic materials would facilitate many new investigations. We introduce a …
