Biomechanical modelling of the prostate

Despite the important number of algorithms proposed for interactively modelling deformable objects such as soft human tissues, very few methods have attempted to simulate complex anatomical configurations taking care of both of interactivity and realism in terms of predictions of tissue motions and deformations. For several years, we have worked on the development and evaluation/validation of biomechanical prostate models clinically usable. We have recently proposed a full pipeline for the study and evaluation of image-based biomechanical models. It has been successfully applied to modelling the prostate deformations in the context of ultrasound guided interventions (biopsy for instance).
