An FPGA platform for real-time simulation of tissue deformation

The simulation of soft tissue deformations has many practical uses in the medical field such as diagnosing medical conditions, training medical professionals and surgical planning. While there are many good computational models that are used in these simulations, carrying out the simulations is time consuming especially for large systems. In order to improve the performance of these simulators, field-programmable-gate-arrays (FPGA) based …
