Introduction: Traditional medical training in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) may be
limited by its low efficiency and high price due to the shortage of cadaver resources. With the …

Computation of soft tissue mechanical responses for surgery simulation and image-guided
surgery has been dominated by the finite element (FE) method that utilises a mesh of …

We present a novel virtual node algorithm (VNA) for changing tetrahedron mesh topology to
represent arbitrary cutting triangulated surfaces. Our approach addresses a number of …
