Soft Tissue Deformation Simulation in Orthognathic Surgery Planning Using Position Based Dynamics
Deformable Models. Position-Based Dynamics. Surgical Simulation. Realtime rendering. Physically-Based Modeling
Deformable bodies is a topic that has been studied in the area of computer graphics in recent decades, with several solutions and proposals for simulations of these types of objects. However, there is still a concern with the balance between physical realism and real-time simulation in an interactive way. Some previous works in the medical field use FEM and MSM to perform simulations, but these approaches have limitations. The use of Position-Based Dynamics (PBD), in turn, has been gaining prominence, being able to provide interactions between different types of objects. The purpose of this work focuses on the use of PBD for real-time simulation of soft and rigid tissues in predicting the results of orthognathic surgery.
