Team publishes paper on tissue deformation tracking

Cristian Linte, associate professor; Richard Simon, research scientist; Zixin Yang; and Kelly Merrell, from the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science and Department of Biomedical Engineering, published “Boundary Constraint-free Biomechanical Model-Based Surface Matching for Intraoperative Liver Deformation Correction,” with support from the National Science Foundation. The team developed a novel 3D-3D non-rigid registration method that outperforms existing techniques, ensuring accurate tissue deformation tracking without requiring zero-boundary conditions or specific force locations.
