Modeling Airflow Using Subject-Specific 4DCT-Based Deformable Volumetric Lung Models
Lung radiotherapy is greatly benefitted when the tumor motion caused by breathing can be modeled. The aim of this paper is to present the importance of using anisotropic and subject-specific tissue elasticity for simulating the airflow inside the lungs. A computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) based approach is presented to simulate airflow inside a subject-specific deformable lung for modeling lun...
متن کاملVolumetric medical images segmentation using shape constrained deformable models
In this paper we address the problem of extracting geometric models from low contrast volumetric images, given a template or reference shape of that model. We proceed by deforming a reference model in a volumetric image. This reference deformable model is represented as a simplex mesh submitted to regularizing shape constraint. Furthermore, we introduce an original approach that combines the de...
متن کاملEvaluation of deformable registration of patient lung 4DCT with subanatomical region segmentations.
Deformable registration is needed for a variety of tasks in establishing the voxel correspondence between respiratory phases. Most registration algorithms assume or imply that the deformation field is smooth and continuous everywhere. However, the lungs are contained within closed invaginated sacs called pleurae and are allowed to slide almost independently along the chest wall. This sliding mo...
متن کاملBayesian modeling of exposure and airflow using two-zone models.
Mathematical modeling is being increasingly used as a means for assessing occupational exposures. However, predicting exposure in real settings is constrained by lack of quantitative knowledge of exposure determinants. Validation of models in occupational settings is, therefore, a challenge. Not only do the model parameters need to be known, the models also need to predict the output with some ...
متن کاملVolumetric modeling and interactive cutting of deformable bodies.
A new approach for the interactive simulation of viscoelastic object cutting is presented. Two synchronized geometrical models at different resolutions are used, both derived from medical images. In contrast with most previous approaches, the blade deforms the object, and cutting occurs once a contact pressure threshold is exceeded. Moreover, we achieve interactive simulation rates by embedding...
